Ulsan Grand Park

Ulsan Grand Park is the coolest part of the city so far. I only live three blocks from the main entrance, too, so I can go whenever I want. Except after 11pm. It's a huge park with ponds, trails, bridges, playgrounds, basketball courts, bike tracks, a big enclosed butterfly garden, a Korean War monument, a petting zoo, a small waterpark, and lots of things to look at. I've spent a number of days there. I'll probably end up going there several times a month, since it's good exercise and a nice break from the big city.

I went there yesterday to finally take some pictures. These are of the big pond at the main entrance. The windmill on the other side of the pond is about thirty feet high and has lights on the blades that light up at night. I've seen pictures of them spinning fast enough to cause the lights for form a circle, but I haven't seen them spin very fast myself--just a little wind, and no help from electricity.








There is a monument on the windmill side of the pond, but I don't know what its purpose it.


I'm a big fan of this bridge, which takes you towards the monument and the windmill (to the left). It reminds me of a fairytale bridge.


I think there's a waterpark inside this building, which is next to the main entrance. The entrance is to the left, and the pond is to the right. Behind and to the right of the building is a big waterslide. I think the building has pools and the like inside. There might be a gym in there, too. I think I saw it through some of the windows.
