Seoullo 7017 is an elevated linear park in Seoul, converted from the former Seoul Station overpass. The Dutch firm MVRDV designed it. Mayor Park Won-soon pushed for its completion, and the article names no owner or start date. It opened in May 2017.
The park is about 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) long and stands 17 meters (56 feet) above street level. It runs from Malli-dong past Seoul Station toward Namdaemun and ends near Hoehyeon Station. It holds gardens, terraces and exhibitions, with about 24,000 plants across 228 species, a figure given as 24,085 in a promise.
The article compares it to New York's High Line. The nearest stairway is across from the front of Seoul Station, though the article's text and infobox name different subway exits. It gives no style or materials.
