The park was developed as a legacy project following the Sasaran International Art Festival, which brings international artists to reside in the village.
Many sculptures were constructed on-site using locally sourced materials to reflect the cultural identity of the fishing community.
The project is a rare example of a rural village in Malaysia hosting an international-scale contemporary art initiative.
The site layout is designed to encourage pedestrian exploration through a village landscape rather than a traditional museum setting.
Sasaran Art Park is a public sculpture garden located in the coastal village of Sasaran, Kuala Selangor, serving as a permanent exhibition space for the Sasaran International Art Festival. The park features large-scale outdoor installations created by artists from various countries using materials like steel, wood, and concrete. It was established to foster artistic exchange and community engagement in the rural Selangor region. The artworks are integrated into an open-air landscape, reflecting the local fishing village setting. The park is managed by the Sasaran Arts Association, which coordinates periodic revitalization and maintenance of the site. It acts as an extension of the biennial art festival, allowing visitors to view works outside of the event timeframe. The terrain is flat and accessible, designed for walking tours among the exhibits.
