The park spans 5.9 hectares featuring several hundred tree species, including rare specimens like ginkgo, German medlar, and Manchurian walnut throughout its territory.

The park serves as a research center for dendrology and botanical studies, maintaining extensive collections of trees and shrubs for educational purposes.

Visitors can explore 1.8 kilometers of walking paths, including a 70-meter wooden boardwalk through marshland and stairs with 100 steps leading to the hilltop.

The park contains a natural pond adorned with water lilies and an observation tower providing views toward the Daugava River.
