The park is situated on an island formed by a significant meander in the Chao Phraya River.
It is part of a protected urban conservation project designed to prevent industrial development in the Bang Kachao peninsula.
The park's design includes a specialized bird-watching tower that rises above the canopy.
The area is technically an artificial peninsula resulting from the river's geological path.
Many paths are elevated concrete tracks to protect the marshy ground and support seasonal flood management.
Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and Botanical Garden is a 200-rai public green space located in the 'Bang Kachao' area, often referred to as Bangkok's green lung. The park features a large central lake, elevated concrete cycling paths, and dense tropical foliage that creates a localized microclimate. It serves as a conservation area for native plants and bird species within the Chao Phraya River’s horseshoe bend. The park is integrated into a larger network of raised boardwalks that traverse surrounding mangroves and traditional fruit orchards. Visitors primarily explore the grounds via bicycle rentals available near the entrance points. It functions as a public research and recreational facility managed by the Phra Pradaeng District authorities. The botanical garden section highlights indigenous flora of the Samut Prakan province.
