It has an area of eight hectares and is built in a neo-classical style. It was designed by the French architect Claude Sahut and is home to many sculptures built by Peruvian artists.

Before construction, the land on which it is located belonged to the nearby Park of the Exposition. In 1926 construction was commenced as ordered by the president Augusto B. Leguía. It was named of the Reserve in honor of the last soldiers who fought in the battles of San Juan and Miraflores. The park was completed in 1929.
