Jeungsan Park, a neighborhood park in the heart of the city, serves as a resting place for citizens. It opened in 1982 and has evolved to its current state. Surrounded by forests, the park features a sports field, basketball court, foot volleyball court, badminton court, gateball court, basic athletic facilities, and a central plaza. Within the park's grounds lies Busan Fortress, built in the early Joseon Dynasty. The name "Jeungsan" originates from the shape of the mountain, which resembles a traditional Korean pot. According to the "Dongguk Yeojiseungram," the name "Busan" is also believed to have originated from this area, as the text describes the mountain as resembling a "kamagol" (a type of kiln). The highest point in the park offers a panoramic view of Busan Harbor from the Jeungsan Observatory, and features Busan's first inclined elevator. Well-maintained walking paths and various athletic facilities make it an ideal urban park for exercise and relaxation. Nearby, you can find the Anyongbok Busan Port Cultural Center, Donggu Public Library, Jaseongdae Park, Manri Mountain Sports Park, Jeonpo Dol Mountain Park, and Busan Central Pier.
