A pretty new and very well equipped gym in Bucheon City (southwest of Seoul). AC in summer / heating in winter.
The gym is quite large and consists of 3 exercise spaces: - Main room: lots of bouldering + more advanced routes
- Outdoor wall - vertical > gentle overhang
- Miscellaneous: easier routes + campus board + general fitness
Despite the impressive size of the facility, it is (as the name implies) a family-owned gym. This is a huge plus, as many of the newer facilities in Seoul aren't particularly down-to-earth. But Park's is, thanks to the people who staff it. They include pro-climber 박지환 and young coach 신영호, among others such as 지환's mother. Another big plus is that all the guys work together to keep the gym very clean.
All the walls were designed and implemented very well, and the aesthetic of the place is cool and comfortable. The gym's holds include a mix of international and Korean holds. There are many various macros.
Only drawback for some international folk is that the staff and climbers here can't speak much English. Still, it's pretty warm and welcoming if you can manage to get past the language barrier. Among members, many strong, intermediate, novice, and beginners here.
How much does it cost to climb at Park's? 1 day is ₩10,000. Here are the membership rates.
Directions
Plug the address into Daum, Naver, or Google maps. The building is (approximately) across the street from the 성곡동주민센터. You can also see a massive Homeplus nearby.
Here's how the building looks.
Once you enter, find the stairwell and go down to B1. Then, welcome to Park's.

For any newbies like me, here's a pin on Google for the address: https://goo.gl/maps/yAm4MbXUnUw
By the pictures, it seems the structure of the main bouldering area has changed quite a bit since 2014. Also a day pass is now 20,000 and a month pass is 90,000
