A small park that has been guarding the shrine for over 30 years.
This is an urban park dedicated to Dosan Ahn Chang-ho’s patriotic spirit and educational spirit.
Dosan Ahn Chang-ho is an independence activist who led the movement for the restoration of national sovereignty by organizing public associations and forming a new people’s association, starting with the activities of the Independence Association in Japanese colonial era. Externally, he organized the Korean National Congress and headed the General Assembly to lead the overseas national movement.
When the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was established in Shanghai in 1919, he led the Provisional Government as the Minister of the Interior and the acting Prime Minister. Although he passed away on March 10, 1938, after being arrested in 1937 in the Dongwoohoe incident and released on bail, his spirit has continued to teach us many lessons.
On March 10 every year, a memorial service is held under the auspices of the Dosan Memorial Society and the Heungdan Division.
If you are a tourist visiting Dosan Park, don’t miss this day!

Inside the park, there are graves of Ahn Chang-ho and his wife, Lee Hye-ryeon, a statue, a memorial hall, a tombstone, and sports facilities.
If you go straight from the entrance, you will find a graveyard with the remains of Ahn Chang-ho and his wife, and to the east, there is a good way to take a walk around the statues and statues.
