Research on the site's flora and fauna is important, as ethno-archaeological investigations have shown how skilled the locals were at employing plants for construction, industry, medicine, and sustenance.

[1] Kota Batu, which was originally the capital of the Bruneian Empire, has yielded important insights into the region's historical chronology through archeological discoveries, especially the remains of stone and timber constructions and other items.

Antonio Pigafetta's 1521 report and the Boxer Codex of 1590, on the other hand, provide more thorough descriptions of Kota Batu's geography, including the Sultan's palace, nobles' homes, and the city's industries.

Archaeological investigations surrounding Kota Batu's defensive walls, which housed the palace, industries, and ceramic workshops, have been directed by this information.

Notably in 1521, Pigafetta's report noted that in order to assure high-quality manufacturing, Bruneian pottery was created using clay that had been buried for 50 years.

[8] Kota Batu was the hub of Brunei's early administration, and excavations carried out by the Museums Department throughout the 1960s and 1980s provided fresh perspectives on the area's historical significance.

[10] The fact that wood and bamboo are commonly used in Malay house architecture, which deteriorates quickly over time, may have contributed to the lack of physical remnants of the royal buildings or the nobles' homes that have been found.

The park features seven huts, a 2.9 kilometres (1.8 mi) promenade, a bridge that connects it to Terindak Island, and an information centre with a collection of artefacts and posters on the archaeological site.
