Why construction began in 1992 and was completed beside the sea in 1997
Millak Waterfront Park began construction in August 1992 and was completed in May 1997. Suyeong-gu introduces it as Korea’s first waterfront park combining the sea with a recreational space, while its location between Haeundae and Gwangalli shaped its present character.
The park is 543 m long and 39 m wide, covering a total area of 30,752㎡. Colored-block paving, flower beds, and shade shelters form the coastal promenade, while a 3,040㎡ stand facing the sea and a 222㎡ ship-shaped outdoor stage with Gwangan Bridge as its backdrop are installed.
Open year-round and free, but alcohol has been prohibited since 2023
According to Busan tourism information, Millak Waterfront Park operates at all times and is open year-round. Admission is free, and visitors can use the park without a regular paid ticket booth or reservation procedure. The information phone number is 051-610-4729, and the contact number for the Suyeong-gu Tourism and Sports Division is 051-610-6532.
The most important on-site rule concerns alcohol. Millak Waterfront Park has been designated an alcohol-free zone since July 1, 2023, so do not mistake its former image of people drinking food purchased nearby for the current regulations. Pets are not allowed, visitors must take their rubbish with them, and disruptive behavior such as shouting or public urination is also prohibited.
Twenty minutes from Gwangan Station Exit 3; distinguish the bus stops when getting off
Using Metro Line 2, it takes 20 minutes on foot from Gwangan Station Exit 3 to Millak Waterfront Park. If you prefer the bus, take bus 41 or 83-1, get off at “Millak Waterfront Park,” and walk for 5 minutes; according to the information, both routes have a 5-minute interval.
For buses 83 and 108, get off at “Millak-dong Bus Depot” and walk 20 minutes to the park; the interval is 5 minutes. Bus 210 requires a 5-minute walk after getting off at “Millak Waterfront Park,” but its interval is 13–15 minutes. The Suyeong-gu village bus 2-1 also requires a 5-minute walk from the same stop, but its interval is 30–35 minutes.
A 470 m approach from Millak-dong Bus Terminus to the sea
Suyeong-gu’s information presents Jinro Beach Apartments, 170 m from Millak-dong Bus Terminus, as a reference point. From Jinro Beach Apartments, travel another 300 m toward the coast to reach the park. Therefore, if you look only at the bus terminus on a map and expect to be immediately at the seaside, the actual walking distance may seem longer than expected.
The official tourist attraction address is 110-19 Millak-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan. The address provided by the user—17-20 Gwanganhaebyeon-ro 344beon-gil, 4th Floor, Pungkyung Tower, Gwangalli Jinyangho Hoetjip—differs from the park’s official address, so it is safer to enter “Millak Waterfront Park” or 110-19 Millak-dong as the destination in a navigation system or taxi.
The public parking lot at 110-7 Millak-dong has 42 spaces and operates from 11 a.m. to midnight
The park’s public parking lot is around 110-7 Millak-dong and has 42 spaces across an area of 516㎡. Its operating hours are 11:00–24:00, year-round. The park itself can be used at all times, but the parking lot has different hours after midnight, so late-night visitors arriving by car should be aware of this distinction.
The lot is listed as Grade 2, with a time-based fee of 300 won per 10 minutes and a daily fee of 8,000 won. The total scale of the parking facilities is introduced in the park information as 5,679㎡, but the area listed for the public parking lot is 516㎡; these two figures should not be understood as the area of the same facility.
How to enjoy the Gwangan Bridge night view and the dedicated bicycle path together
At Millak Waterfront Park, you can enjoy close views of Marine City and Gwangan Bridge illuminated at night. The sea-facing stand and ship-shaped outdoor stage are designed for visitors to sit and look out at the water and bridge lights rather than simply pass through, and cafés and food establishments have developed nearby.
The park has a dedicated bicycle path. In front of Samik Beach Town Apartment Building 301 on Gwangalli Beach, there is a free bicycle rental station. According to the information, visitors can leave an identification document and borrow one bicycle per person free of charge for two hours on the same day. Operating hours vary by season, so if cycling is part of your plans, check separately whether the rental station is operating.
Should you walk toward Gwangalli Beach or Suyeong Bridge?
A promenade connects Millak Waterfront Park to Gwangalli Beach, making it easy to head toward the shore. In the opposite direction, a riverside walkway follows the Suyeong River to Suyeong Bridge, allowing you to create a route connecting the sea and river instead of simply turning back after viewing Gwangan Bridge.
The park is a linear space 543 m long, so rather than viewing all facilities from one point as you might in a large lawn park, it is better to move between the stand, outdoor stage, and coastal promenade separately. Since the official information does not specify a recommended viewing duration, it is more realistic to plan time according to whether you will add a walk to Gwangalli or Suyeong Bridge instead of assigning a fixed number of minutes.
Ramps and accessible facilities are available, but pets cannot accompany you
Busan tourism information lists Braille guidance, ramps, accessible parking, and accessible restrooms among the facilities at Millak Waterfront Park. Wheelchair users therefore do not need to assume that the site has only stairs, although the available information alone cannot determine the level of congestion or surface conditions along the entire coastal promenade.
Whether English information or an audio guide is available, whether photography is prohibited, and which areas are currently restricted are not included in the confirmed visitor information. Admission to the park is free and there is no ticket booth, but pets are not allowed, and visitors must take their rubbish away and observe noise restrictions. Treating it simply as an unrestricted picnic area may therefore conflict with the rules.
For the 2025 “Millak Waterfront Sea Cinema,” reserved seats had to be checked first
The 2025 event information introduced the “Millak Waterfront Sea Cinema” as operating every Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. from August through December 2025 at Shade Shelter 2 of Gate 3 at Millak Waterfront Park. There were 300 seats in total, with backrest-style seats and wireless headsets provided; admission was 3,000 won per person.
Two hundred seats were available through advance online reservations, while the remaining 100 were allocated to online reservations for socially vulnerable groups and on-site purchases. A ticket-price cashback was also offered upon presentation of a receipt showing at least 15,000 won spent on food or beverages in Suyeong-gu, but this event was scheduled for 2025 and should not be expected as a regular program during a current visit.
