  Pyeongchon Central Par is located next to the Acro Towers and Hagwon-ga to the south, with Anyang City Hall one block directly north. The park's main feature is a complex fountain system connected by artificial streambeds.
  The park includes tennis courts, a soccer field, basketball courts, badminton courts, gateball court, in-line skate park, a performance stage, concession stand, and an X-game court, where skaters can practice stunts. There are also quite a few statues and fountains. A free large community aerobics class takes place regularly in the evenings at center of the park, where free concerts are sometimes held.
  The street on the park's north side is closed off to traffic on weekends, and used for flea markets and as a course for kids to drive tiny cars and motorcycles and the citizen play to various ways
context_section_description: A tea house created by tilting a traditional Korean house 45 degrees. The artist, who is concerned with the social role of art, has experimented with issues such as the boundary between arts and everyday life, interaction between public and private spheres, and communication between group and individual, within the sphere of arts. In this context, the artist made and served food to audiences at his exhibitions, transformed an exhibition space into an apartment, and created a backpack containing cooking utensils and maps. The artist, who had existing interest in the function of tea houses prior to this project, produced a cube shaped tea house made of stainless steel for the Villa Manin Centre for Contemporary Art (Italy) in 2005. For the tea house he created for the 2nd APAP(ANYANG PUBLIC ART PROJECT) at the Pyeongchon Central Park(Pyeongchon Jung ang Park), the artist takes its motive from Eastern tea houses, which functioned as a space for meditation as well as for conversation and social interaction.
