The park is anchored by the Simpang Lima Gumul monument, which stands 25 meters tall and features 6-meter-high reliefs depicting Kediri history.
The SLG monument design was inspired by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France.
The site connects five major roads, hence the name 'Simpang Lima' meaning 'five intersections'.
The surrounding green space serves as an important groundwater catchment area for the Ngasem district.
SLG Green Garden is an expansive public park complex situated adjacent to the Simpang Lima Gumul (SLG) monument in Kediri Regency, East Java. The park serves as a green buffer zone surrounding the iconic triumphal arch, which is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The grounds feature meticulously maintained lawns, decorative gardens, and pedestrian walkways designed for communal recreation. It functions as the central urban lungs for the Kediri region, facilitating outdoor activities for local residents and tourists. The area is heavily landscaped with ornamental plants and mature trees providing shaded seating sections throughout the site.
