The Rungra People's Pleasure Ground is an amusement park located in Rungra Island, Pyongyang, North Korea. It was opened in 2012 in a ceremony with Kim Jong Un and his wife Ri Sol-ju.[1][2] It has a dolphinarium, swimming pool, arcade, mini golf course, fun fair, and courts for tennis, badminton, and volleyball.[3] The park has been expanded many times over the years and now has its own trolley transportation system.

The park entrance fee was 2000 won in 2012, equivalent to around USD$20 at the official exchange rate or USD$0.25 at the black market rate.[4][5]
