Sungin Neighborhood Park숭인근린공원

About

Sungin Neighborhood Park sits on Dongmangsan Mountain in Sungin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and is also known as Dongmangsan Park. This urban park opened in 1980 as a place where residents can relax, take a walk, and get some light exercise. Covering 45,615㎡, it is a nature-friendly space with a pavilion, exercise equipment, a management office, and restrooms. The peak of Dongmangsan is called Dongmangbong. According to tradition, the name comes from Queen Jeongsun: after her husband, King Danjong, was sent into exile in Yeongwol, she built a thatched hermitage called Jeongeobwon and came here to gaze east toward Yeongwol, longing for him. In April 2008, a memorial ceremony honoring Queen Jeongsun was held in the park.
