Bundang Central Park, Urban park in Sunae-dong, South Korea
Bundang Central Park is a public park in Sunae-dong, Seongnam, built on the slopes of Youngjangsan (413.5 m) and opened on 31 July 1994. It preserves the original terrain and forest, with native trees added, and is crossed by Bundang Pond, a 12,500 m² pond modelled on Gyeongju's Anapji, with two islands linked by three stone bridges. The park has four footbridges connecting it to surrounding apartment complexes, an outdoor theater, a watermill, and the restored Sunae-dong House.
The park was established in 1994 and preserves the Sunae-dong House, a late Joseon-period structure designated as a cultural treasure of Gyeonggi Province. This building documents the original village that once existed at this location.
The park's name comes from Bundang, the district it serves, and its pond, Bundangho, was modelled on the Anapji pond of Gyeongju. Two islands linked by three stone bridges sit in the water, and the pavilions Dolmagak and Sunaejeong copy Gyeonghoeru of Gyeongbokgung and Aeryeonjeong of Changdeokgung. The Sunae-dong House, a Hansan Lee clan head house, was moved here and restored.
The park is a 10-minute walk from Seohyeon Station on the Bundang Line. Four footbridges link it to the surrounding apartment complexes; they have no stairs and carry braille blocks, so wheelchairs and white-cane users can enter. Strollers can be borrowed and a nursing room is provided. Parking totals 134 spaces, rising to 674 on holidays with roadside parking allowed.
Bundang Pond covers about 12,500 m² and was modelled on Anapji, the Silla-era pond in Gyeongju. Two islands are linked by three stone bridges, and the pavilions Dolmagak and Sunaejeong copy Gyeonghoeru of Gyeongbokgung and Aeryeonjeong of Changdeokgung. The pond is fed by the Bundangcheon stream that crosses the park.
