Subramaniam, a local physician. The park was named after Subramaniam. Subramaniam's nephew was V. Dharmalingam, later MP for Uduvil.The park was severely damaged during the civil war and was destroyed in military operations in 1990. After being closed to the public for 14 years, renovation funded by Rs. 2 million provided by UNICEF began in 2004. The renovated park was re-opened by Jaffna District Secretary K.
