Ansan Neighborhood Park (Korean: 안산근린공원; Hanja: 安山近鄰公園) is a public park in Hak-dong, Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, South Korea. It first opened to the public on June 25, 2019.[1] It has an area of 45,097 square meters (485,420 sq ft).[1][2]
The land the park occupies is on a hill. The land had actually been set aside for the park since April 11, 1977,[2][1] but development stalled on converting it into a park for around 40 years. Finally, in 2014, plans were approved to begin work on the park.[1] Construction began on June 25, 2018,[2] and was completed by May in the following year. The project cost a total of 4.8 billion won, and resulted in 800 m (2,600 ft) of walking paths, two public squares, two rest areas, five parking lots with 89 spaces, exercise equipment, and a pavilion.[1][2] Work began in December 2020 to increase the number of parking spaces to 126.[2]
