Haengju Fortress Park [행주산성공원], also known as Haengju Fortress History Park [행주산성 역사공원], is a park located within Haengju Fortress [행주산성]. The fortress — strategic in its location because of its distance to/from Hanseong, the present-day Seoul — was where the Battle of Haengju (행주대첩) took place on 14 March 1593 during the Japanese invasion of Korea (1592-1598), then known as the Joseon Dynasty. It was said that during that battle, “even women are said to have participated… carrying stones in their aprons (“haengju” in Korean)”. In 1963, the fortress was designated as historic site #56.
The park, which stretches between Haengju Bridge [행주대교] and Banghwa Bridge [방화대교] and directly faces Gangseo Hangang Park [강서한강공원], is located in Goyang’s neighborhood Haengjuoe [Haengjuoe-dong/행주외동] in the Deokyang District [Deokyang-gu/덕양구].
The DMZ Trekking Course Goyang City First Road –Section Haengjusanseong~Lake Park (DMZ트레킹코스 고양시 첫째길] 행주산성~호수공원) departs from here.
Note that an admission fee applies for visitors of all ages, except seniors. Opening hours vary depending on the time of the year.
