Maehyang-ri Peace Eco Park (매향리평화생태공원)

Maehyang-ri Peace Eco Park is a public memorial-and-ecology park in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, set on the site of the former U.S. Air Force bombing range that operated from the early 1950s through 2005 over Maehyang-ri's coastal mudflat. For decades the area's residents lived under regular bombing-practice noise and damage, and after a long civil-rights campaign the range was closed and the site converted into a public peace-memorial-and-ecology park. The park preserves several artifacts from the bombing-range era — unexploded ordnance casings, range-marker structures — alongside recovered tidal-flat ecosystems that have returned in the absence of bombing. Interpretive panels walk visitors through the bombing-range era, the residents' civil-rights campaign, and the broader peace-and-ecology framing of the site's restoration.
