Songdo Central Park (Korean송도 센트럴파크 / 송도 중앙공원) is a public park in the Songdo district of Incheon, South Korea. The park is the centerpiece of Songdo IBD's green space plan, inspired by New York City's Central Park.[4] Central Park is a public zone in the center of Korea's first international city, covering 101 acres (41 hectares); the park covers almost 10% of Songdo IBD’s total area.[5] It serves to connect to various civic and cultural destinations by providing a seawater canal that refreshes itself every 24 hours.[6]
