The garden is surrounded by the horseshoe-shaped Mahaweli in the west, north and east and is traversed by a branched network of paths. In the center is the Great Circle, along the riverbank runs the so-called River Drive. Great Circle and North River Drive are connected by an avenue of royal palms. In the south-west part of the garden there is a lake in the shape of the island of Sri Lanka. Two bridges cross the Mahaweli.

There are numerous themed gardens such as spice and herb gardens, ferns and pine groves, and orchid houses.
