The conception and construction of Suan Luang Rama IX Public Park was a joint effort between the private and public sectors. Generous financial support, in the form of donations, was also received from Thai community. The park was a gift to His Majesty the King on the auspicious occasion of his 5th Cycle Birthday Anniversary in 1987.

The main objectives are threefold:
1. To make Suan Luang Rama IX Public Park the venue for the promotion of botanical knowledge.
2. To maintain a sizeable collection of various plant species for educational and recreational purposes.
3. To build awereness and understanding of the need to conserve our natural resources and the environment in which we live.

His Majesty the King graciously presided over the inaugurate of the park on 1st December 1987
