Dooly Square is a small-sized plaza located at the entrance of Songnae Rodeo Street in front of exit 2 of Songnae Station, Bucheon-si. It functions as a regional transportation hub where bus transfers for various routes take place. The area around the plaza is pedestrian-centered and is used as a daily resting space for citizens. In line with Bucheon-si's eco-friendly bicycle city policy, a bicycle air pump is installed. Small sales facilities operate within the plaza selling flowers and snacks depending on the season. Previously, there was a statue of Dooly popular with children, but it was removed due to road expansion construction. After the expansion, the space became larger, improving pedestrian flow and transfer convenience. The plaza is connected with Songnae Rodeo Street, an area with high foot traffic and commercial vibrancy. Local events and campaigns are occasionally held, serving as a communication space for residents. Overall, it is a small mixed-use space combining living infrastructure and public transportation.

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.
