The park is built through a grant by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) under its Local Government Support Fund for Cities,. It will provide a safe and secured communal facility for visitors and residents of the nearby resettlement communities.

According to the information office of  Tacloban City (TCIO), it is a 3,165 square-meter space, which features some amenities such as a covered community center, landscaping, solar streetlights, water feature, and play equipment that will surely give a breathable space for social recreations to the resettlement community.

"Mayor Romulaldez, led the inauguration activity yesterday. In his message, he asked the residents and its neighboring communities to keep the place clean and treat the garden as their own for the benefit of all."
