Waryong Park (Korean: 와룡공원; Hanja: 臥龍公園) is a park in Myeongnyun-dong, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea.[1] It was founded in 1984.[2] It is adjacent to the mountain Bugaksan. The park is so named because it resembles a dragon (용/룡; yong/ryong) laying down.[1][2]
The park was renovated in 2023, with safety railing and additional flora installed in the park.[3]
