Deokjin Park is the representative city park of Jeonju, and was built in the background of ponds made during the Koryo dynasty.(First designated as a park in May 1938). Within the precinct of 4,5000 pyeong, the pond takes about 2/3 of the area in the southern park, and a suspension bridge crosses over the boat sites in the northern part from the east to the west.
One sightseeing attraction of Jeonju are the lotus, flowers blooming in the pond of Deokjin Park. Deokjin pond is famous as one of 8 attractions of Jeonju. In the summer, lotus in full-blossom cover half of the surface of the ponds, creating a splendid sight in Jeonju. (Growth area of lotus : 13,000 pyeong).
