The park is situated in the middle of the city, roughly 100 metres south of Haixiu Road. It has a total size of 102 hectares (250 acres), and was created in 1996, the same year that Evergreen Park was completed. The most prominent features of the park are a cemetery, a 15.8-hectare (39-acre) lake, a zoo, and numerous, diverse forest areas.
It is one of four major parks in Haikou, and can be compared to Haikou People's Park, due to its high percentage of tree cover. The other two, Baishamen Park and Evergreen Park, consist mostly of open grass fields.
On the plateau at the top of the park is a pigeon aviary and a butterfly garden. About 96% of the park has green cover, much of which is forest area.
