This was the first park in Korea. It was also the original place of the first Korean Independence Movement Day gathering on March 1, 1919 and the venue of the reading of the Korean Declaration of Independence. There are several national assets in the park, among them: Wongaksaji, a 10-story tower; Wongaksa Monument, Palgakjung, and the Declaration of Independence Monument. In recent times, the park has become a meeting place for many of Seoul's senior citizens.
