A very well-maintained and peaceful memorial site. The park is clean, quiet, and surrounded by greenery, making it a calming place for reflection. Although it's located right next to a busy highway, the atmosphere remains sereneā€”aside from the occasional sound of traffic, it's very tranquil. Inside, youā€™ll find historical plaques, engraved panels, and monuments commemorating those who lost their lives during World War II, particularly in connection with the Jesselton Revolt. The memorial is simple but powerful, especially knowing it stands on the actual site where the tragic events took place. The park is gated, but the gates are open during operating hours, and entry is completely free. No tickets or registration neededā€”just walk in. If you're nearby and appreciate history or quiet spaces, this is a meaningful place to visit.

Was closed today, 10 April 2022. Not sure if they close on Sundays (but that's the day people are free to visit) or I hope, is a temporary closure. Have visited the Sandakan War Memorial and the Kundasang War Memorial but alas, have to come back to KK to visit the Petagas War Garden on another trip.

No Entrance Fee. We only required 30mins to view. Parking available on the ground next door. Oh, don't go on Friday during mosque prayers. It would be difficult to locate a parking lot.
