The park was developed and is managed by the Delhi Development Authority as part of the Rohini urban development project.
The name 'Japanese Park' stems from the initial landscaping concept which incorporated elements inspired by Japanese garden aesthetics, though these have evolved significantly over time.
The central water bodies are interconnected and serve as a local drainage and rainwater harvesting catchment area.
It remains one of the largest continuous green patches within the dense urban sprawl of North West Delhi.
The site hosts a significant population of migratory and resident bird species due to the presence of its artificial lakes.
Japanese Park, formally known as Swarn Jayanti Park, is the largest public green space in the Rohini sub-city of North West Delhi. The park spans approximately 250 acres and is designed around a series of interconnected artificial lakes. It features specialized zones including a rose garden, extensive children's playgrounds, and dedicated walking tracks. The landscape is characterized by rolling lawns, diverse tree plantations, and pedestrian bridges crossing the water bodies. It serves as a major recreational hub for local residents, functioning as both a botanical space and a community sports area. The park layout incorporates multiple entry gates to manage access across its wide perimeter in Sector 10. Water features within the park provide habitats for various local bird species, making it a point of interest for amateur birdwatchers. Maintenance is overseen by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), which coordinates regular landscaping and infrastructure upkeep.

Wear comfortable walking shoes as the park covers a large area with significant distances between garden sections.
Carry personal drinking water as vendor availability can be inconsistent throughout the interior pathways.
Visit during the weekday mornings to avoid the heavy weekend crowds and local weekend social gatherings.
Avoid visiting during the peak heat of summer afternoons as there is limited deep shade in the open lawn areas.
Respect the 'no littering' zones to maintain the artificial lakes; refrain from feeding the birds.
