Jukdo Park is a coastal park located on a small, rock-laden peninsula known as Jukdo in Songjeong, Busan.

It is physically connected to the mainland by a bridge, allowing pedestrians easy access to the rocky coastline. The area is distinct for its natural rock formations and proximity to Songjeong Beach. Historical significance stems from its designation as a designated area for protecting coastal scenery within Haeundae-gu.
