Gwangju Sajik Park

Nam-gu, Jeonnam-Gwangju · City park

Gwangju Sajik Park: no on-site parking.

Sajik Park is located at the previous site of Sajikdan Altar, a ritual site to pray for peace and prosperity during the Three Kingdoms Era. In the 1960s, the site was home to Sajik Zoo, with the ritual being abandoned in 1894 and the altar in disrepair. However, in 1991, it was decided to move the zoo to another location and begin restoring the site. It was reopened in April 1994, 100 years after the last ritual.

Sajik Park is landscaped with various trees and flower beds. The park blooms pink and white with cherry blossoms annually in mid-April. During this time, the municipality of Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City installs lighting in the trees for citizens to enjoy the blossoms late into the night. The park has become established as a favorite rest area for Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City citizens. The park houses several attractions including Gwangju Broadcast Station (KBS), Memorial Tower for Policemen, Yangpajeong Pavilion, and Palgakjeong Pavilion overlooking downtown Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City.
