Seokchon Lake Park in Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea includes Seokchon Lake and Lotte World's Magic Island. The lake's area is 217,850 m and its average depth is about 4.5 meters. Seokchon Lake was originally a part of the Han River. There was an island named Burido in the middle of the Han River dividing it into two, Songpa River and Sincheon River. In April 1971, a construction project to connect Burido with the mainland began. It proceeded by enlarging the Songpa River and closing the Sincheon River. Due to this construction, the enclosed southern part of the Han River became Seokchon Lake, and the land made by the reclamation project became Jamsil-dong and Sincheon-dong.
