The park is situated at the foot of Gyeyangsan, which is historically significant as a site of the Gyeyangsanseong Fortress ruins.
The mountain was historically known as Annam-san during the Goryeo Dynasty.
Gyeyangsan is the highest peak within the Incheon metropolitan area.
The park serves as the starting point for a popular trail that features a long wooden staircase leading to the mountain ridge.
Gyeyang Park serves as a primary urban green space at the base of Gyeyangsan, the tallest mountain in Incheon. It functions as the gateway for hikers accessing the various trails leading to the mountain's 395-meter summit. The park grounds feature forested walkways, landscaped lawns, and organized flower beds designed for seasonal plant displays. It integrates several recreational facilities, including open-air exercise equipment and specialized fitness zones. The park is characterized by its hilly terrain, reflecting the topography of the surrounding Gyeongin region. It acts as a recreational hub for local residents, providing both a transition zone for mountain climbers and a community leisure space. The facility is maintained by the Gyeyang-gu district and features extensive forest paths that connect directly to major mountain trailheads.

Check local fire weather warnings, as access to mountain trails behind the park may be restricted during high-risk fire periods.
The park has limited sun cover, so bring adequate sun protection for the open grassy areas.
Do not attempt the full mountain ascent in casual sandals or flip-flops due to steep, rocky terrain.
Maintain noise levels appropriate for a quiet residential neighborhood; take all trash with you as bins are limited.
