[1] Notable specimens include the Pinus merkusii, a pine tree known to exceed 30 metres in height and only grows at high altitudes.
In 1965 the park was established with an extent of around 10 ha, but this has expanded to 590 hectares stretching from Dago Pakar to Maribaya.
[2] It is currently managed by the Forestry Service of West Java Provincial Government (previously under the auspices of Perum Perhutani).
The park is home to several waterfalls, rock formations, man-made caves, as well as several bridges, all connected with forest paths.
These paths are frequented by locals and tourists alike, with some sections paved with bricks and the rest with cobblestone.
It is situated 1200 metres above sea level, and oversees the Maribaya Valley, with the nearby Curug Omas visible on the southern side.
