Its facilities include an open-air sculpture garden where art blends with nature and changes with the seasons, as well as rental facilities for rehearsals and overnight stays. The park is frequently used by performers as well as tourists.

The park's Outdoor Stage can accommodate up to 5,000 people and offers an open, spacious setting with lawn seating. Visitors can watch concerts, theater, dance, and other artistic performances outdoors.
