Sandakan Memorial Park is in a quiet, wooded park just past the government buildings at Batu on the road to Ranau. Despite its tranquil appearance, this was the site of the Japanese POW camp and the starting point for the infamous ‘death marches’ to Ranau. There’s a very good exhibit with surviving prisoners’ accounts and photographs, in a chapel-like building at the centre of the park.
