The park is open 24 hours and reachable by several bus routes including 11B, 11C, 13M, 89, 89C, and 89X. You can walk through easily and find places to sit throughout the space.
The park marks the exact spot of the 1972 landslide, which led to the creation of a specialized office for managing earth and rock slopes. This office developed methods that became a model for slope safety across the region.
