The park is the symbol of reconciliation and peace, and seeks to open a new chapter of life.The development project of Jeju 4.3 Peace Park was a result of the reparations for the victims of the Jeju 4.3 incident. The 4.3 Special law was promulgated in the year 2000, and the following steps were proceeded: property acquisition for the park, master plan of the park establishment, design competitions for the park, construction, exhibits and installations. It finally opened to the public on March 28, 2008.
