The park is built around a series of natural swampy depressions that were repurposed into a managed lake system.

Tasik Melati Recreational Park is a wetland park defined by a sprawling man-made lake surrounded by smaller, interconnected ponds. The park features a raised wooden walkway that allows visitors to traverse above the water level, offering views of the lotus beds and aquatic flora. Jogging trails encircle the perimeter of the primary lake, catering to local fitness enthusiasts. A children's playground is integrated into the landscaped grounds near the entrance. The site serves as a green buffer for the surrounding residential and agricultural areas of Kangar. Wildlife sightings in the area typically include various freshwater fish and local bird species residing in the marshy ecosystem. Maintenance includes regular trimming of the surrounding palm and decorative trees. As of July 2026, the facility remains an active recreational site maintained by local municipal authorities.
