The park was constructed on the site of a former stone quarry.
The architectural design is inspired by the famous Rock Garden of Chandigarh.
A portion of the site includes an iron suspension bridge connecting different sections of the rocky landscape.
The park overlooks the Kanke Dam, which was originally built to supply water to the city of Ranchi.
Rock Garden in Ranchi is a landscaped park built entirely from the rocks of the Gonda Hill. The park is situated on the banks of the Kanke Dam, providing panoramic views of the reservoir and surrounding forest. It features a notable iron bridge designed to bridge the gaps between various rock formations. Pathways are carved directly into the hilly terrain, creating an undulating walking experience. The site incorporates several man-made sculptures and terraced gardens designed to complement the natural boulder-strewn environment. It serves as a popular recreational space for locals looking to access the waterfront. The park layout utilizes the natural topography to create distinct viewpoints overlooking the water.
