Inaugurated in October 2011, the park was created by the Jbail-Byblos Municipality to introduce an ecotourism destination, breathing life into a city rich with buildings and constructions.

The park features rest areas, pedestrian zones, a small pond, a stage for performances, and an outdoor public gym. While some playground and gym equipment may show signs of wear, the park remains a popular spot for families and individuals seeking recreation. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls, picnics, and sports activities on the walking tracks. The park's central location, next to the archaeological area, makes it easily accessible and a perfect complement to a day of historical exploration. Open from morning until late evening, Jbeil Public Park offers a peaceful retreat with its natural beauty and recreational opportunities.
