The park contains several dolmens that were moved from their original burial sites during the local urban development of the Geumam-dong district.
Most of the dolmens in the park are categorized as the 'northern' or 'table' type and 'southern' or 'go-board' type, representing common burial customs of the Bronze Age.
The park was designed to preserve archaeological findings in situ or nearby where possible to prevent the total loss of heritage during city expansion.
It functions as a designated cultural heritage site under local administrative protection to ensure the preservation of the prehistoric stones.
Osan Dolmen Park is a public outdoor space dedicated to preserving Bronze Age burial sites discovered within the Geumam-dong residential development area. The park features relocated dolmens, which are megalithic tomb structures typical of the Korean peninsula's prehistoric era. These prehistoric monuments are arranged along walking paths integrated into a modern suburban landscape. The site serves as an educational open-air museum detailing the archaeological history of the Gyeonggi-do region. It includes paved trails, green space, and signage explaining the historical significance of the excavated artifacts. The park is situated in a high-density urban residential area, providing a distinct contrast between ancient stone relics and contemporary apartment architecture.
