목포현충공원
The focal point of this park is a large, tall monument to the Korean Independence Movement set on the hill overlooking Mokpo Harbor. The monument is perhaps 50 feet tall with the figure of two women holding a Korean flag. There is a museum underneath it, accessed from the rear, but it was locked at the time of visit.
The park is nicely landscaped, of course, with a small stream with arched bridges, running in front of it. There is also access to hiking trails that go up the mountain to the north and offer great panoramic views of the eastern part of the city.
There is ample parking and restrooms.
