Busan Citizens Park

Military camp and park—these two words do not match well together. However, there is a place where a military camp is reborn as a park, namely Busan Citizens Park. You see the traces of history in the beautiful scenery in front of you—from the beginning of the Japanese colonial period in South Korea to the US Army Camp Hialeah and Busan Citizens Park. The “Pillars of Memory” still stand high, as they are recycled products of wooden power poles that remained in Camp Hialeah. This is a reminder that the park was once occupied by the US Army and had a difficult time to be back with the Busan citizens. This is why the park is very special and beautiful.
