Seongho Park is an urban neighborhood park created for the healthy leisure and physical training of local residents. The name Seongho comes from the pen name of Yi Ik, a representative Silhak scholar born in Ansan. Notably, Seongho Park connects the tomb of Yi Ik, the shrine Cheomseongsa dedicated to him, and the Seongho Memorial Hall, a first-class museum, making it an ideal exploration course of Yi Ik. The park is planted with pine trees and 29 other tree species, as well as 16 types of shrubs including jasanhong (Japanese photinia). Equipped with a large area and parking lot, the park offers facilities such as a soccer field, roller skating rink, and playground for everyone to enjoy, serving as a resting place for Ansan citizens. The Danwon Sculpture Plaza in the park showcases works by Korea's top mid-career artists and outstanding pieces from the Danwon Art Exhibition on a wide lawn, offering a unique allure unlike other sculpture plazas. At the center of the sculpture plaza, 22 bas-relief murals depicting genre paintings by Danwon Kim Hong-do create a distinctive feature exclusive to the city of Ansan.
