About

Suwon Yeongheung Arboretum was established through a special private park project to protect Yeongheung Park, which was designated as an urban planning facility in 1969, from the sunset law on urban parks, and opened in 2023. It embraces 'Jeongjo Hyowon (Filial Piety Garden)', a traditional garden honoring Jeongjodaewang who loved Suwon, and visitors can also encounter a paddy field garden displaying native rice by preserving the former terrain that used to be rice paddies and puddles. It has quickly become a popular attraction for visitors seeking to enjoy nature in the city center, and the exhibition greenhouse, filled with exotic plants, is especially highly popular regardless of the season and weather.

The terraced library 'Chaengmaru' in the visitor center and various experience programs make this place a complex cultural space beyond a simple resting area.
