This city park will feature a variety of services and attractions, including a Yoga Centre, and will provide a tranquil getaway for locals and visitors alike.

The garden includes an amphitheatre that is used for cultural and free-time events.

The garden also has ponds, a Pergola, and a tribute to the history and significance of the Jail Road neighbourhood.

A tower has been built to provide elevated views of the garden's natural beauty and luxuriant flora. A footbridge that spans the South Pond has also been built to improve access and aesthetics.

The Architectural structures enhance the garden's visually pleasing qualities as well as its practicality. The botanical garden is the city's second of its sort, after the Assam State Zoo and Botanical Garden.
