Dalseong Park is a park located in Jung-gu, Daegu, South Korea. The park includes Gwanpungnu Pavilion, a local history hall, a zoo, and some monuments.
The park is located inside the oldest earthen fortification in Korea, dating from about 261 C.E. (during the three kingdoms period). During the Sino-Japanese war in 1894-1895 the land was used as a Japanese military base. The park was created in 1905, and was renovated to its current form in 1965.[1][2]
Animals at the zoo include Asian elephants,[3] peacocks, Bengal tigers, a brown bear, llamas, pheasants, vultures, owls, chimpanzees, zebras, wolves, and a jaguar.[4]
