Songdo Haedoji Park Rose Garden: A Complete June Guide — Peak Bloom at Over 90%

As of May 31, more than 90% of the roses at Songdo Haedoji Park's rose garden are in full bloom. With free admission and free parking, this is the perfect spot to experience the height of early summer in June 2026.

News has arrived that the roses at Haedoji Park in Incheon's Songdo are in full bloom. As of May 31, over 90% of the roses have been confirmed in flower — making right now the best time of the year to see them.

Why June Is the Most Beautiful Time at the Rose Garden

The recommended peak viewing period for the roses runs from mid-May to early June. A bloom rate of over 90% means you can catch the garden at its absolute finest. Along the walking paths of Haedoji Park's rose garden, red, pink, yellow, and many other varieties of roses have been planted in sweeping displays, treating visitors to a riot of color with every step.

A rose tunnel has also been created, making it a wonderful spot to stroll through and take photos surrounded by blooms. Roses generally look their most vivid in early summer, when temperatures are mild and sunlight is plentiful — and June is exactly that moment.

A One-Day Itinerary with Songdo Central Park

If a visit to Haedoji Park alone feels like too short a trip, consider pairing it with Songdo Central Park, one of the area's signature attractions. The suggested route is to take a leisurely walk through Central Park and soak up its sleek urban scenery, then head over to Haedoji Park to enjoy the natural beauty of the rose garden.

Both spots are located within the Songdo International Business District, making it easy to get between them. Each has its own distinct appeal, so the combination makes for a full and rewarding day out.

Getting to Haedoji Park

Haedoji Park is located at 51 Haedoji-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon. If you're taking public transport, the park is within walking distance of Exit 3 of Campustown Station on Incheon Metro Line 1, making it conveniently accessible.

Driving is equally stress-free, as both admission and parking are completely free. At a time when parking fees can be a deterrent almost anywhere, these conditions make Haedoji Park a particularly welcoming choice for families.

Tips to Know Before You Visit

For rose viewing, morning visits are generally recommended. Early in the day you can catch the roses still touched with dew, and the heat has yet to set in, making for a much more pleasant walk. Even in June, midday temperatures can get quite warm, so it's a good idea to bring a hat and sunscreen.

Visiting on a weekday rather than a weekend will also give you a more relaxed experience. With the garden over 90% in bloom right now, head to Songdo and discover a rose garden in June that you won't want to miss.
