The latte stones were used as building supports by the ancient Chamorros. These were relocated in the 1950s from an abandoned village sadly destroyed by the Navy. They are cool to see. On site are Japanese tunnels built during WWII, however they were closed. Apparently they were open for people to explore at one point.
The park is being neglected with overgrowth and trash. That hurts the rating.

We really enjoyed the botanicals in the little park. It's really easy to find, and it's free! It's near the library. We did a whole day of siteSeeing on our war/ history day and this was a great stop. The kids had fun playing hide and seek around the ancient latte and the Japanese caves, and we enjoyed teaching them the history behind them. In the states, they would have been put in museums to prevent vandalism to the latte relics, but the Chamorro have reverence for their history and I really appreciate that we can see them as they were used. If you don't know what they are, there are plaques that explain the hand carved hut foundations and the WW2 caves.

It is a very small park. Not much to see. But the stone latte is very interesting. You will never know what is it for if you didnt read the sign and see the picture.
Interesting place.

excellent interpretive displays explaining this unique Chamorro (native Northern Mariana Island population) architecture. you will learn alot walking thru the park reading the displays. there are cave entrances nearby. built by Chammoro slave labor. you can enter these caves if you want. i did, but i bid a hasty retreat pronto. Why? becuase there was a screeching sound inside the caves. i figures the sound either was RATS or BATS (or both). and i did NOT want to get Hanta virus. so i split. anyhow, there is plenty to learn at the interpretive displays in the park . Enjoy.

I grew up on the island and used to play on these latte stones. They were a common sight for me. Love this place. It's beauty and history are one of a kind. Such a shining sense of place.

The park is very small but the latte stone are beautifully preserved and some caves to see. Takes only about 20 minutes to see. This is a place to visit.

It is a quiet, serene Park hidden below the foot of the Governor's Official Residence in Hagatña. Latte Stones were placed here for those who do not care to visit ancient sites on the Island. Also on site are gated caves that were made by the occupying Japanese Army in WWII. Private parties were held there, however, this important site is neglected and I do not understand why. The occasional Tourists do visit the Park. A survey would be interesting to see just how Island visitors rate the Park and get their feedback. Visit the site and transport yourself back when culture, tradition, and family meant more than anything else.

I'm so glad we found this place, as it was a bit of a challenge. We finally got to read about the Latte stones and their significance. Some of the dates seemed to be mismatched, but we got the gist.

We enjoyed visiting Latte stone park. It's much smaller than I expected, but still nice...and interesting. There is also a fall out shelter you can check out and one that you can walk through as well. Unfortunately the one you can walk through is filled with trash. The park itself it nice and clean though. Someone mentioned an entrance fee but there's no fee. Just an interesting quick stop!

Worthwhile visiting as it was on the way to other touristy areas like the Guam war museum and Governor's office. Easy to access with parking right inside the park. It's a small park with latte stones displayed . Lots of shade trees.
