The park was originally a reservoir constructed to provide irrigation for the surrounding agricultural fields in the Songcheon-dong area.
Osongje features a specifically designed 'floating' wooden deck that helps minimize human impact on the water's edge ecosystem.
The site is part of a larger mountain trail system that connects to the Geonjisan Mountain top, reaching an altitude of approximately 100 meters.
Seasonal water level management is used within the reservoir to encourage the growth of specific hydrophytes and lotus species.
Osongje Ecological Park is a reservoir-turned-wetland sanctuary located at the base of Geonjisan Mountain in Jeonju. The park is designed to preserve local flora and fauna, functioning as an urban ecological habitat. It features a wooden boardwalk that allows visitors to walk directly over the water surface, providing close proximity to lotus flowers and reeds. The reservoir serves as a home for various water birds and insects throughout the year. The surrounding forest trails connect the park to the wider Geonjisan Mountain hiking network. It is a quiet, managed green space specifically intended for nature observation and local biodiversity protection.
