Wartime History
During
the Japanese occupation of Guam, Adelup Point was
a heavily armed site with fortifications built into
the rock cliffs. A battery of large guns was also
mounted at the point. After the recapture of the
island by the United States, Commodore W. O. Hiltabidle,
CEC USN, 5th Naval Construction Brigade, set up his
command post here.
Adelup Park
 With Marine Drive at its entrance
and a jagged cliff line to its rear, Adelup park has
developed into one of Guam's most popular and busiest
parks. Not only is it a favored recreational site,
the park also functions as the surrounding grounds
for government ceremonies.
