Chief Quipuha Park

Chief Quipuha Park

Chief Quipuha Park is located on the Paseo de Susana peninsula, in the north of the city of Agana, Guam. Like the rest of the peninsula, it was created after World War II, based on bulldozed debris from the ruined city. It is named for Chief Quipuha, the highest ranking chief in the area at the time of the first European settlement on the island.
