Manseokgeo Park

Established in 1998, Manseokgeo Park is a park centered around a reservoir called Manseokgeo (萬石渠). The Manseokgeo reservoir was built on wasteland in the 19th year of King Jeongjo's reign (1795) to overcome drought, and it later produced 10,000 seok more rice, hence the name Manseokgeo. In 1936, when the administrative districts of Suwon-gun Ilhyeong-myeon and Uiwang-myeon were merged into Ilwang-myeon, it was also called 'Ilwang Reservoir' during the Japanese colonial period, but after about 60 years, it has now officially regained its old name. In addition to the pavilion, there are convenience facilities such as a fountain, multi-purpose sports field, tennis court, and a store. The scenery around Manseokgeo, where golden rice waves form, is called Seokgeohwangun and is considered one of the Eight Autumn Scenic Spots of Suwon (水原秋八景). The Suwon Museum of Art is located within the park, and nearby attractions include Suwon World Cup Stadium, Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, and Korean Folk Village.
