The site features extensive rose beds organized by variety and color, functioning as a botanical display area. It is situated on the eastern bank of the Isar River, providing a quiet transition zone between the city and the river's green corridors. The park landscape incorporates paths designed for walking through the floral arrangements. Benches are distributed throughout the grounds for stationary viewing of the plantings.
