Baegyangsan Wellbeing Forest (백양산 웰빙숲) is a small forest park on the slopes of Baegyangsan Mountain, in Mora-dong, Sasang-gu, in the west of Busan. It was built along a mountain stream and is mostly a deck walk with play areas for children. This guide lists what the Sasang-gu district office and the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) say about it, and what neither source tells you.
We checked the sources on 3 October 2026. We have not visited, so this is a source summary and not a review. The district office page we used was last updated in December 2020, so some details may have changed.
What the Park Is
The Sasang-gu district office, which lists the park on its tourism site, describes it as a 50,000-square-meter area around the Unsu stream (운수천) in Mora-dong. It says the park includes a valley lookout, a multi-purpose deck shelter, a forest-themed playground, a hinoki cypress area it calls the “prenatal and meditation forest,” and a “family story forest.” The office says about 50,000 trees and flowering plants of 30 kinds, including peacock maple (공작단풍), were planted, and that visitors can see seasonal flowers, fruit and autumn leaves.
KTO’s listing, which is in Korean, gives similar information. It names the same facilities and calls the park a rest area made by improving the stream’s surroundings. KTO’s text says the park is on Baegyangsan in “Buk-gu,” while its address line says Sasang-gu, Mora-dong. We follow the address and the district office, since the district office lists the park on its own tourism pages.
The Deck Walk
The office says that a deck road runs beside the Unsu valley and that, once you step into the forest on it, you reach the cypress prenatal and meditation forest and a cypress family rest area. It says you can listen to birds and running water there. The office also says visitors can enjoy cool forest bathing in summer. That is the office’s wording about summer, and we did not check it or look at health claims, so we repeat none.
The photos supplied with KTO’s listing show brown wooden decks with railings running between trees, a green entrance sign and a paved path. The dates of the photos are unknown.
The Play Areas
The district office says the “forest theme playground” and the “nature play forest” hold 33 kinds of play equipment, with benches. It lists a forest slide, a forest play house, stepping stones and a tree house. KTO says the park suits families with children, and lists the same equipment.
We found no age limits, safety rules or opening times for the play areas. We also found no information on whether the equipment is suitable for toddlers. If you plan to come with young children, call the office first.
Hours, Fees and Contact
KTO lists the park as open at all times, with no closing days, and says parking is available. KTO does not list a fee, and neither does the district office page, so we cannot say whether it is free. The Sasang-gu Green Parks Department is the listed contact, at 051-310-4548. That is a Korean number and may not connect from abroad.
Because the park is open at all times in the listing, we cannot tell you whether the decks are lit at night or whether staff are present after dark. We found no source on that, so plan a daytime visit.
Getting There
This is where our sources run short. Neither the district office text nor KTO gives a metro or bus route in the text we could read. The district office page has a directions map, but we could not read it. We therefore have no verified route, walking time or bus number. Use a map app, and search for the park by its Korean name, 백양산 웰빙숲 or 백양산 체험형 웰빙숲.
KTO lists parking as available, but it does not say how many spaces there are or whether there is a fee.
An older Busan city report from 2011 is about the Unsusa temple valley (운수사 계곡) on the same mountain, which we did not confirm is the same place as the park’s stream. It mentions a narrow mountain road, no-parking banners, and a request to carry out your trash. That report is 15 years old and about a different named valley, so we do not know whether it applies to the park. Treat it as a reminder to take your litter home and to be careful on narrow roads.
First-Timer Tips
These are our suggestions, not sourced facts.
- Visit in daylight, since we found nothing on lighting.
- Wear shoes with grip. The photos show wooden decks and a paved path, and we do not know how they feel when wet.
- Bring water. We found no information on shops or drinks on site.
- Pack out your trash.
- If you want a longer walk, see our Autumn Walks in Busan guide or our Children’s Grand Park guide for another green space on the Baegyangsan side of the city. We did not check the distance between the two.
