The park's name, 'Tegallega', translates from Sundanese as 'broad field' or 'wide plain'.
The Bandung Sea of Fire Monument consists of three towering pillars symbolizing the spirit of the 1946 struggle.
The park is built on land that historically served as a horse racing track during the Dutch colonial period.
The area is periodically used for major city festivals, including the annual Bandung anniversary celebrations.
Tegallega Park is a historic 17-hectare urban park in Bandung, famous for the Bandung Sea of Fire Monument (Monumen Bandung Lautan Api) which commemorates the city's 1946 scorched-earth resistance. The site serves as both a recreational space and a significant historical landmark featuring a large central plaza. It features a decorative lantern park that illuminates the area at night. The grounds include sports facilities such as a skateboard park and a jogging track. The park has undergone multiple renovations to modernize its infrastructure while maintaining its historical significance. It acts as a major green lung in the dense Astanaanyar district of Bandung.

Stay on designated walking paths to avoid interfering with skateboarders and other recreational users.
Avoid visiting during peak midday heat as there is limited natural canopy in the central plaza areas.
