It honors the thousands of military personnel and island residents that lost their lives during the Marianas Campaign in 1944 during the Asian-Pacific War. Throughout the park visitors will find beaches, sports arenas, walking paths, historical markers, and of course memorials. The Memorial Court of Honor and Flag Circle, the Marianas Memorial, and the Saipan American Memorial and Carillon Bell Tower commemorate those who sacrificed their lives and help start the end of the war.
