The park is situated alongside the Ranbir Canal, a major irrigation project that draws water from the Chenab River.
The name 'Canal Road' refers to the proximity of the park to the main channel that supplies water to the agricultural lands of the Jammu plains.
Rajender Park is a narrow, elongated green belt situated directly along the banks of the Ranbir Canal in Jammu. The park serves as a primary urban recreational area for the surrounding Bhagwati Nagar and Canal Road neighborhoods. It features paved walkways that run parallel to the water flow, providing a linear path for pedestrians. Vegetation within the park consists of mature trees and ornamental shrubs that provide shade along the canal bank. The site is characterized by its proximity to the Chander Bhaga residential area and the critical irrigation artery of the canal. It functions as a local community space rather than a destination park, serving residents for morning and evening walks.

Visit during the daylight hours for safety, as the park lacks extensive artificial lighting in more secluded sections.
Use the canal-side path for a continuous, uninterrupted walk away from the street traffic.
Avoid visiting during or immediately after heavy monsoon rains, as the canal bank can become slippery and the path may hold standing water.
