Jayu Park (
Korean: 자유공원;
Hanja: 自由公園) is an
urban park located in
Incheon,
South Korea. It is seen as the city's marquee public park. Known as Freedom Park in English, it is located on a
bluff overlooking the city's harbor. Prominently placed is a statue of the
Korean War officer
Douglas MacArthur, whose amphibious assault liberated the city. The park also houses a number of other statues, a small
zoo, and a memorial to the
Joseon–United States Treaty of 1882.

cherry blossom blooming season.
