A park with many memories

Paju City's tourism guide describes Reunification Park as a memorial space established in 1973 to honor soldiers of the Republic of Korea Army's 1st Division and the fallen. Its monuments include a memorial to war correspondents who died during the Korean War and the Yuk-tan Ten Heroes Memorial Tower.

Read the monuments individually

Rather than treating the stones as a single display, look for the different people they commemorate. The Mangbaedan altar, established in 1985, provides a place of remembrance for people separated from their hometowns in what is now North Korea. It is a space that calls for a quiet, respectful visit.

If you want to walk farther

The city's separate Bongseosan hiking guide lists routes starting at the park, with lengths of 3.3 km and 5.5 km. These are published route descriptions, not confirmation of today's trail access or walking time. Plan the memorial visit and any hike separately.

Before you go

The official address is 1586-24 Tongil-ro, Paju-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do. The city lists free admission and free parking, but current access, parking conditions and trail closures should be reconfirmed.
