East Sea Park, locally known as Bien Dong Park, is a prominent public space situated directly along the coastline of Da Nang. It is characterized by its expansive paved plazas and proximity to My Khe Beach. The park is a major hub for municipal events, festivals, and international cultural exhibitions. It is famous for being a gathering spot for thousands of migratory pigeons, which are a defining feature of the area. The grounds serve as the starting or turning point for many of Da Nang's annual marathons and city-wide outdoor celebrations. The park offers unobstructed views of the Son Tra Peninsula and the Linh Ung Pagoda’s Lady Buddha statue. It provides direct, sand-level access to the beach without physical barriers. The layout focuses on open, multifunctional space rather than botanical or landscaped greenery.
