The park's name refers to a historic site where nine ancient trees once stood, symbolizing the local heritage of the Yongsu-ri area.
It is managed by the Gijang-gun Facility Management Corporation as part of the regional effort to provide green infrastructure to the Jeonggwan New Town residential population.
Gumokjeong Park is a community-oriented recreational space located in the heart of the Jeonggwan New Town development in Gijang-gun, Busan. The park is characterized by its integration into a modern urban residential layout, serving as a primary green corridor for local residents. It features a central pavilion (Gumokjeong) that serves as a focal point for the site. The park includes paved walking trails, manicured landscaping, and designated rest areas interspersed with native trees. It functions as a multipurpose outdoor facility designed for casual exercise, neighborhood gatherings, and light relaxation. The park connects directly to the surrounding urban pedestrian network, making it a highly accessible local landmark.
