Located at km 2.5 Penampang Road, the Heroes Monument is an impressive structure set amidst the landscaped gardens of Sabah's first Public Park project. The annual Heroes Day ceremony is held here to honour Malaysians, past and present, for their bravery and noble work of protecting this nation. The 6 ha park was designed to incorporate recreational and educational facilities, to allow visitors to enjoy the outdoors tranquility, and to have moments of reflection for those who gave up their lives in order for the people and nation to enjoy peace and to be safe.
