Ice Box Park is at the southern end of Koror island. If you are staying in Palau Hotel (F&B Palau Hotel) in Koror, you may take a taxi ride or rent a bicycle and ride all the way from main street (Idid, the street between Palau Hotel and WCTC), passing Ngarachamayong Cultural Center (pronounced as Nga-ra-ma-yong), thorugh Malakal Bridge, passing the Port of Palau and all the way to the south end of Koror island.

Unlike Long Island Park (Koror, Palau) which is also located just after Malakal Bridge (first corner to the left) in Koror where people can visit, swim, snorkel or just enjoy for FREE, Ice Box Park (Palau) may not be a place where people usually go for swimming or snorkeling (at least at the times that I've visited, i didn't see anyone), but it has its own share of marine beauty. I for one have not gone snorkeling in this place, but have spent some time relaxing and watching birds catch fish for food. People flock to this place for fishing or just sit and relax or watch the setting sun.

Ice Box Park got its name from the ice plant found in the area that produces ice for fishermen and the people of Palau., hence the name Ice Box.

It was not so long ago that volunteers have devoted their time in cleaning the surroundings of Ice Box Park especially the waters. The clean up drive was a great idea, praises and thanks to the people who have organized the underwater clean up event, to the divers and people who have voluntered to help. Pounds of wastes like plastics and beer/soda cans, bottles and more odd items were taken out of the water and gave the park a new fresh and clean look.

If you get a chance to visit Ice Box Park (Palau), see this stone & cement arc that is found in one corner overlooking the sea. I don't know the purpose for it but it sure gives you a nice view for pictures and videos.
A number of big trees can be found in this park that give shade and add to ones relaxation. There are a number of tables and chairs and sheds open for everyone to use.

Overlooking Ice Box Park are islands on the eastern part of Koror island.

Now, some of the most memorable picnics and gatherings can be set at the Ice Box Park (Koror, Palau).

Ice Box Park is also graced with bamboo trees. When the wind blows the bamboo trees create their own wish-wosh sound as they sway with the wind. In the future I shall find time to visit the place again in time to take pictures of the sunset. It would surely be a breathtaking one, islands, seas and the setting sun.
