Ulsan Grand Park 🇰🇷

If you are traveling through South Korea, Ulsan Grand Park offers an expansive green escape right in the heart of Ulsan Metropolitan City. As the largest urban park in the entire country, it spans a massive 3.69 square kilometers (1.42 square miles), giving you plenty of room to stretch your legs and explore. The park's creation was funded through a unique public-private partnership between the city and SK Group, whose former chairman Chey Tae-won launched a money-saving initiative in 1995 to give back to society.

Construction wrapped up in 2006, resulting in a world-class civic space built with a total investment of KRW 102 billion (around US$107 million in 2006). When you visit today, you will find a fantastic variety of outdoor attractions suited for all ages. Take a peaceful stroll along winding walking trails, visit the serene botanical garden, or immerse yourself in local flora at the nature learning center.

Families traveling with kids will love spending time at the butterfly zoo, interacting with animals at the petting zoo, or letting energy loose across several playgrounds. It is a thoughtful, comprehensive urban sanctuary that perfectly showcases local civic pride and natural recreation.
