APEC Naru Park

Located at Suyeonggangbyeon‑daero, APEC Naru Park is open every day and accessible at all hours without any entrance fee, making it one of Busan’s most welcoming public spaces. The park’s layout is easy to explore on foot, and its open design means you can move between peaceful grassy areas and shaded paths along the river with ease. There are plenty of benches and viewpoints where visitors pause to rest or take photos. Because it’s free and centrally located near Haeundae, many travelers include it as a relaxing break in their day after visiting the nearby beach or city attractions.

Before setting off, it helps to know that the best times to visit APEC Naru Park are in milder seasons such as spring and autumn, when the weather is comfortable and nature is most colorful. Summer can be warm and bright, while winters are cool, so dressing for the weather will make your visit more enjoyable. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as most of what makes the park special is experienced by walking the riverside paths and taking in the views. There are no strict rules for visitors, but keeping the space clean and respectful makes it pleasant for everyone. Many people come here in the evening as well, when the city lights begin to shimmer over the water, creating a gentle atmosphere perfect for winding down.

Getting to APEC Naru Park from anywhere in Busan is straightforward thanks to the city’s efficient transportation network. A common route is to take the Busan Metro Green Line (Line 2) to Haeundae Station, then follow local streets toward the Suyeong River on foot. The walk from the station takes around ten to fifteen minutes and gives you a bit of local city flavor before arriving at the calmness of the park. Taxis are also widely available in Busan if you prefer a direct ride, and drivers will recognize the park’s name or address. For those staying in Haeundae or nearby neighborhoods, a short stroll through residential streets and along the river makes the journey part of the experience.
