Dating back to the 1930s, the BB Park has been the centre of social and cultural activities for the Kuala Lumpur residents. Back then, the park, which was built at the present Sungei Wang Plaza site by a group of businessmen, flourished as an entertainment place after it was sold to Shaw Brothers, who then upgraded it and renamed it BB Park. The centre was known for its cabaret and dance halls, and it even had a boxing ring, stage shows, theatres, restaurants, exhibitions and games stalls — until it closed in the early 1970s.

Today, BB Park, which is under the management of Low Yat and Sons Realty Sdn. Bhd., has continued to live up to its glory days. On Thursdays and Fridays, there is a live band belting out contemporary music on the common stage located at the centre of the park, while over the weekend, there is a band playing Retro and Jazz numbers. Apart from targeting the young and tourists, BB Park is also looking into getting companies to hold events here. The park boasts seven restaurants and bars, serving food ranging from local favourites to foreign cuisine such as French, German, Japanese and Thai. Besides food joints, some of BB Park's tenants include local art galleries.
