Kaeson Youth Park, Amusement park in central Pyongyang, North Korea.

Kaeson Youth Park is an amusement park at the western foot of Moran Hill, near Kim Il Sung Stadium in Pyongyang. It covers 40 hectares and opened in 1984 with a carousel, fun house and Ferris wheel. A flying roller coaster imported from Italy opened in 2010, and by 2013 the rides also included bumper cars, teacups, a swing ride and a vertical drop.

The park opened in 1984 as a recreational facility for young people in the city. Major renovations took place in 2010 to modernize rides and refresh the overall facilities.

The park's name, Kaeson (개선), means "triumphal return" and links it to the nearby Arch of Triumph, whose dedication in 1984 the park accompanied. Before the park was built, the site held the Mausoleum of Gija (Jizi), a legendary Chinese-born founder of Gojoseon; in 1959 Kim Il Sung ordered its destruction as a symbol of flunkeyism, and the amusement park later rose on the spot.

Before the park was built, the site held the Mausoleum of Gija (Jizi), a tomb linked to the legendary founder of Gija Joseon. In 1959 Kim Il Sung ordered it destroyed as a relic of flunkeyism and an insult to the Korean nation, and the amusement park later rose on the cleared ground.
