The Sanggar Agung Temple is built on an artificial bridge-like structure directly over the tidal waters of the coast.
The Four-Faced Buddha statue is plated with gold and stands as one of the largest of its kind in Indonesia.
The park serves as a key site for traditional Chinese-Indonesian cultural celebrations and rituals in Surabaya.
The coastal location experiences significant tidal variation, which alters the visibility of the temple's base throughout the day.
The area is strategically located at the end of the coastal road near the western approach to the Suramadu Bridge.
Kenjeran Park is a sprawling coastal recreation area in Surabaya, East Java, distinguished by its mix of amusement facilities, religious statues, and views of the Madura Strait. The park features prominent architectural landmarks, including a large Four-Faced Buddha statue (Patung Buddha Empat Wajah) and the Sanggar Agung Temple, which stands on a platform extending into the sea. Visitors can access beach areas, go-kart tracks, and open green spaces intended for community gatherings. The site is divided into an older, quieter section and a more modernized amusement zone. It serves as a significant cultural and leisure hub for locals, particularly during weekends and public holidays. The park is situated near the foot of the Suramadu Bridge, offering visual access to the landmark connecting Java and Madura islands.

Bring a hat and sunscreen as there is very little natural shade in the open beach and temple areas.
Visit during low tide if you wish to see the base of the Sanggar Agung Temple and explore the exposed muddy coastal areas.
Carry mosquito repellent, especially if visiting during the late afternoon or near the mangrove-adjacent zones.
Avoid swimming in the water near the park, as the sea conditions and water quality are generally not suitable for bathing.
Maintain a respectful demeanor when walking near the temple grounds and keep shoulders and knees covered in religious zones.
