Hyochang Park[a] (Korean: 효창공원) is a park in Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea. The park is near Exit 1 of the Hyochang Park station of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway. Popular for leisure and exercise, the park has walking paths, sports facilities, forests, and cherry blossom trees. In 1989, the park was designated a Historic Site of South Korea. In addition to the graves of Kim Ku, Lee Bong-chang, and Yun Bong-gil, it also contains the Kim Koo Museum.
The name of the area has changed several times over its history. The area was originally called "Hyochangmyo", and later "Hyochangwon" in 1870. It was first used in 1786 as the burial ground for Crown Prince Munhyo and his mother Royal Noble Consort Uibin Seong. During the early Japanese colonial period, it was called "Kuyongsan'goji".
In 1921, the Japanese turned it into the first golf course in Korea, with the graves directly on the course. It was first designated a park in 1924. It received its current name in 1940, and the graves were subsequently moved out of the park. After the liberation of Korea, the remains of eight significant Korean independence activists were buried in the park. Since the 1940s, there has been a conflict over whether the park should be treated like a park or a memorial. The park currently functions as both, although the majority of people may mostly know the park as a leisure space.
