The garden is maintained by the Cauvery Irrigation Department, a Government of Karnataka enterprise. It is spread across an area of 60 acres . Adjoining it is also a fruit orchard spread across 75 acres, and 2 horticultural farms, Nagavana  and Chandravana. The garden is laid out in 3 terraces which contain water fountains, trees,  plants.The garden is open to general public and an entry-fee is charged. The garden also has topiary works (sculptures of animals created by clipping shrubs)and pergolas (shaded passageway covered by creepers). The main attraction of the park is the musical fountain in which  water is synchronised to the music of songs. There is also a lake within the garden with boating facilities available for visitors.

The garden was renovated in 2005. The renovation included sprucing up the musical fountain using a digitised system and repairs of dysfunctional fountains. In 2007, the Gardens were closed for a brief duration as a safety measure to avoid trouble related to the Kaveri water dispute.
