King Taksin the Great Public Park serves as the large green lung of Chanthaburi province. It is situated on land that was historically the royal rice field (Thung Na Luang). The park was established to commemorate the great benevolence of King Taksin the Great, who used Chanthaburi as a base to gather troops and resources before successfully regaining independence from the Burmese. The area is designed to be lush and beautiful, featuring a large central pond surrounded by trees and clean walkways. It is a popular spot for both local residents and tourists to relax, exercise, and engage in recreational activities.

The main feature of the park is the Monument of King Taksin the Great, which stands majestically at the front of the park. This allows the public to pay homage and recall his great heroic deeds. Beyond its historical significance, the park also includes a children's playground, an aerobics area, and an outdoor activity space, making it a hub for people of all ages. It is a vital green space that helps create a relaxing atmosphere and promotes the good quality of life for the local community.
