The Selorejo Dam was constructed during the 1960s to regulate the flow of the Konto River.
The park is situated at an elevation of approximately 600 meters above sea level, contributing to a cooler climate compared to urban Malang.
The site hosts a permanent exhibition or information point regarding the history of the dam's hydroelectric functions.
The reservoir serves as a critical water source for local irrigation systems in the Malang and Kediri regencies.
A suspension bridge within the park is a primary structural landmark connecting different recreational sectors.
Taman Wisata Selorejo is a reservoir-based recreational park located in Ngantang, Malang Regency, known for its scenic views of the Kawi and Kelud mountains. The park is integrated with the Selorejo Dam, which serves as both a hydroelectric power source and a flood control facility for the region. Visitors can access the reservoir area via a suspension bridge that spans the water. The grounds feature a hotel, a swimming pool, and dedicated fishing areas. The site is characterized by hilly topography and dense pine forests surrounding the reservoir. It functions primarily as a family-oriented destination for picnics and outdoor recreation. The location provides a direct vantage point of the dam’s engineering architecture.

Bring a light jacket as the mountainous elevation makes the air significantly cooler in the mornings and evenings.
Pack insect repellent, as the proximity to the reservoir and forest canopy attracts mosquitoes.
Visit the suspension bridge early to avoid peak pedestrian crowds during weekends.
Avoid visiting during heavy rainfall in the wet season, as road visibility along the mountain passes can be significantly reduced.
Maintain modesty as this is a local family-oriented park; dispose of litter in designated bins to protect the reservoir water quality.
