The garden is equipped with shock resistant jogging lanes, specialized bicycle tracks, stretching bars and three fun children’s playgrounds. An amphitheater, two exhibition areas and a wall of fame were all installed after the renovations allowing artists, activists and environmentalist to use the space for their creative work and activities.

The benches by the large water fountain in the middle of the garden are the perfect seat to perch on while listening to the birds singing at home in the trees.
