📝 1. Overview
Located right in the heart of Hongdae’s walking street zone, Hongdae Playground (a.k.a. “Hongdae Children’s Park”) is far more than just a small park — it’s the cultural pulse of the area. By day, it’s a relaxed hangout for students and travelers. By night, it transforms into an open-air stage for freestyle dancers, buskers, indie flea markets, and spontaneous K-arts energy. It’s raw, real, and 100% Hongdae.
