Kkwonggogae Park (꿩고개공원)

Kkwonggogae Park is an ecological forest where nature is preserved, located along the Hangang River, and has an excellent natural environment. Whereas the nearby Banghwa Community Park was founded for public service, Kkwonggogae Park was founded to preserve the existing habitats and ecosystems while serving as a passageway for small animals. Within the park is Chihyeonjeong Pavilion, Gangseo area’s representative attraction for taking in the city nightscape. The hill’s name, which can literally be translated as “Pheasant Hill Park,” comes from the fact that this hill was a frequent pheasant hunting spot in the past. The park is located near Gagseo Dulle Trail Course No. 2.

When the fate of the nation was hanging by a thread as the North Korean Army launched an invasion of the South on June 25, 1950, about 1,100 officers and men from
the South Korean First Division’s 11th, 12th, and 15th regiment retreated to Gimpo and built the last line of defense on Gaehwasan Mountain from June 26 to 30 to fight against a large army
of North Korean soldiers disguised as South Korean men.

Unfortunately, their communication with the headquarters was
cut off and their supply of ammunition and food ran out. As a result, the entire South Korean force was killed by the much larger North Korean army
in a valley around Gaehwasan Mountain. In order to commemorate those who died for the country, the government established the
Memorial to the Loyal Dead on Gaehwasan Mountain in 1994. A memorial service is
also held here annualy on June 28th.
