**Boramae Park** ([Korean](/source/Korean_language): 보라매공원[1]) is a large public park in [Sindaebang-dong](/source/Sindaebang-dong), [Dongjak District](/source/Dongjak_District), [Seoul](/source/Seoul), South Korea.[2][3]

## Description

From 1958 to December 10, 1985, the area hosted the [Korea Air Force Academy](/source/Korea_Air_Force_Academy) (KAFA).[2][3] When the KAFA moved to [Cheongju](/source/Cheongju), the [Seoul Metropolitan Government](/source/Seoul_Metropolitan_Government) acquired the former site in December 1985, and turned the area into a public park. The park opened to the public on May 5, 1986.[3] The park is named "Boramae", meaning juvenile [Eurasian goshawk](/source/Eurasian_goshawk),[1] after the name of a symbol used by the KAFA.[3][1]

The park has an area of 413,352 m2 (4,449,280 ft2). It has a variety of facilities, including a playground, tennis courts, an artificial turf [soccer field](/source/Football_pitch), [badminton](/source/Badminton) courts, a jogging track, a [gateball](/source/Gateball) court, and a [rock climbing wall](/source/Rock_climbing_wall).[1][2][3] There are spaces for picnics, a floor fountain, community centers, and a small zoo.[2][3] A [dog park](/source/Dog_park) opened in the park on April 23, 2016.[3][4] A children's park opened on June 6, 2024.[5] The park also has a pond.[2]

The park has an Air Park that displays eight airplanes in homage to its time as the KAFA, as well as a monument called Seongmudae (성무대; 星武臺).[2][3] The monument was built in 1962, using donations from former cadets.[2]
