Gwangju City National Defense and Veterans Park is a meaningful place honoring the noble spirit of those who sacrificed for the country. Formerly known as Gyeongan Neighborhood Park, its name was changed to remind visitors of the value of national defense and veterans' honor. Beyond being a simple resting area, it serves as a place for historical education. It is an educational space for citizens to reflect on the spirit of patriotism and helps future generations remember and inherit history. The park includes facilities commemorating those who sacrificed for the country, such as the March 1st Movement Monument and the National Defense Veterans Achievement Monument. The National Defense and Veterans Park Memorial Tower was originally built in 1959 to honor the patriotic spirit of those who died from the 16 myeon areas of Gwangju County and was renovated in 2009. A memorial ceremony is held here every year on Memorial Day. Additionally, the park offers leisure spaces such as sports facilities and walking paths.
