Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman was the first to think of the idea to preserve the site as a heritage park and to provide green lung within the City.
Government’s objectives behind the design theme of the Park:

Provide a premier park in the city for the enjoyment of all ages of people to encourage better physical and emotional health.
Create an additional tourism attraction destination that will showcase the city’s rich history.
Provide better understanding of Sabah’s environment in order to resonate the historical values found at Hone Place and to evoke the feel of our rich rainforests.

Perdana Park was fully completed by Syed Faisal Syed Mohammad of JK Chartered Architect and Timatch Sdn. Bhd. (Datuk Victor S. Paul) in November 2010.
