Songjeong Park, a resting space for the residents of Songjeong and Gwangsan-gu, is located on the slopes of Geumbongsan Mountain. It houses the Hyeonchungtap Memorial Tower to honor the sacrifices of patriotic martyrs and fallen heroes, the poetry monument of poet Yonga Park Yong-cheol, the memorial monument of master singer Im Bang-ul, the righteous deed monument of General Lee Gi-son, leader of the righteous army Geumje, and many other memorial monuments. It also has the Songjeong Dagachi Culture Library, which serves as a cradle of knowledge for local residents, and is a healing walking trail with rest areas and sports facilities.
Geumseonsa (Songjeong Shrine) in the park is one of the shrines built throughout the country during the Japanese colonial period to instill the ideology of Japanese militaristic invasion policy and colonial rule, and it is the only wooden shrine among the shrines remaining in Korea today. The Geumseonsa area is used as a place for historical education related to the Japanese colonial period. In addition, the metasequoia trees planted around Songjeong Shrine are a green resting space that lets you feel nature in the city.
