The park features approximately 150,000 square meters of blooming fields.
It was officially designated as the first 'Local Garden' (Jibang Jeongwon) by the Jeonbuk provincial government.
The park is specifically designed to highlight the Gujeolcho flower, a perennial herb used in traditional medicine.
The landscape integrates native Korean red pine trees (Pinus densiflora) with deliberate floral undergrowth.
The site experiences a dramatic seasonal transformation where the ground turns white during the peak blooming period.
Okjeongho Gujeolcho Theme Park is a 150,000-square-meter natural landscape area renowned for the massive cultivation of Siberian chrysanthemums (Gujeolcho). Located in Jeongeup, the park spans a scenic pine forest along the banks of the Okjeongho Lake. The site was designated as Jeonbuk State's first Local Garden in 2021. The terrain is defined by rolling hills covered in white Gujeolcho flowers that bloom across the entire landscape. Visitors navigate a network of pedestrian paths that wind through the dense pine stands. The park is integrated into a larger ecological conservation zone around the Sannae-myeon region. Facilities include observation decks, flower gardens, and traditional walking trails. It serves as a primary venue for regional floral festivals focused on autumnal themes.

Wear comfortable walking shoes as the terrain involves unpaved trails and hilly sections.
Bring a portable sun umbrella, as many paths in the flower fields lack natural shade.
Visit during the early morning to catch the mist rising off Okjeongho Lake.
Do not visit outside of the peak blooming season if your primary goal is to see the floral landscape, as the area remains dormant for long periods.
Main floral displays are seasonal and peak in autumn; certain garden zones may have restricted access during non-peak winter months.
Stay on designated walking paths to avoid trampling the floral displays; do not pick the flowers.
