Bucheon Central Park, located in Jung-dong, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon-si, is Bucheon’s first neighborhood park. It adjoins the city hall and features a large pond and fountain in the center, providing excellent surrounding scenery. The park includes commemorative plaques for Byeon Yeong-ro and Hwang Myeong (Bokdong). It also houses the Bucheon City Symbol Tower and a gateball field, offering opportunities for sports and leisure, and it is characterized by many old trees, making it a notable arboretum park. The uniquely shaped Bucheon City Symbol Tower stands in the very center, surrounded by a plaza space where temporary stages are set up for each performance. On the west side of the park is a peach memorial garden planted with peach trees donated from Okayama City, Japan, known as a famous peach-producing area. While the theme of the western side is trees and grass, the eastern side’s theme is water. Various strange waterways, a rural stream with stepping stones, a large fountain, and an artificial island floating in the center of the artificial pond all guide visitors into a world of water. Every summer, a free outdoor water play area opens annually.

Opened in August 2016, the Bucheon Astronomy Science Museum allows visitors to see stars that are difficult to view in the city center through telescopes without having to go to distant observatories. It is a citizen observatory focused more on astronomy education, aiming to teach in-depth astronomy stories in an easy and fun way. With excellent celestial observation equipment, it is possible to conduct hands-on educational experiences that are difficult for schools, kindergartens, and other educational institutions in the area. Available facilities include an exhibition hall, celestial observation room, classroom, and planetarium.
