[1]The park size is 36 Ha. It is suitable for a peaceful walk as the serene ambience of the park brings out an ideal atmosphere. A picturesque pond situated at the foot of a high cliff wall near the entrance of the park, runs deep and still - a relic from the mining days of the region.
The park was developed on an abandoned quarry site in 1988. The undulating terrain and meandering footpaths through the lush secondary forest lead to look-out points reaching more than 10 storeys high to provide breathtaking views.
The undulating terrain and serene ambience of the park will attract joggers and hikers.
During World War ll, Lorong Sesuai site was selected by the Japanese as a memorial for the soldiers who died. The two pillars and 120 concrete steps leading to a transmission tower are the only remains. The significance and meaning of the location is conveyed to visitors via a memorial plaque that lies at the foot of the stairs.
Visitors can also enjoy activities including bird watching and foot reflexology.
