Cheonho Park천호공원

About

Cheonho Park is located in Cheonho-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, and was opened on June 20, 1998. The Seoul Metropolitan Government created the park on land it purchased from the former factory site of Pilot, a company famous for its fountain pens. Within the park is the Gangdong-gu Haegong Library, which opened on June 26, 2008. The name "Haegong" comes from the pen name of independence activist Shin Ik-hee, who was born nearby. The park is also a center of leisure for local residents, with an outdoor stage, a pond, and a basketball court, and every spring it is beautiful with royal azaleas in full bloom.
