History

During World War II, a site at Lorong Sesuai was selected by the Imperial Japanese Army as a memorial for soldiers who had died. The two pillars and 120 concrete steps leading to a transmission tower are the only remains of the memorial. The significance and meaning of the location is conveyed to visitors through a plaque at the foot of the stairs. The park was later developed on an abandoned quarry site in 1988.
