One medium-sized park in Yangcheon-gu is in Mok-dong, between Apartment Complex 4 and 6. It is a short bus ride from Omokgyo Station. The park’s name is 파리공원, or “Paris Park” in English.
The park has walking paths paved with that squishy running-track foam, and they are lined with trees. There is also a walking/running/bike path encircling the whole park. The park also houses exercise machines, a small baseball diamond, a bandshell, and a rest area with bathrooms and picnic tables. There is also a large pool (not for swimming!) that has fountains in the summer time. There are flowering trees and plants of all kinds, including a rose garden. Occasionally there are music festivals or bake sales in the park. Middle school students take class pictures and do art projects there from time to time, and grandmothers bring their grandchildren over for playdates in the morning. The park is bordered by a Buddhist Temple on one side and a big catholic church, along with the Yangcheon-gu Public Library, on the other.
Now for the photographs (please excuse the quality due to the mistiness of the Monsoon Season and my Old School camera): 
A view of the park with Hyundai World Tower in the background. The park is bordered by trees so you can’t see much of it unless you go inside it.
