Le parc est très bien entouré: la station de métro Berri-UQAM, la Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, la Gare d'autocars de Montréal, l'hôtel des Gouverneurs, la Place Dupuis, le magasin Archambault et l'UQAM (Université du Québec à Montréal).

Au sud, il est plat. Lorsqu'on n'y installe pas une scène ou on peut jouer aux échecs géants. Au centre, une pente ascendante gazonnée détend le public. Il y a une dénivellation d'environ 3 mètres entre la base et le sommet. Au nord, il est plat, couvert de gravier rouge, avec une aire de pétanque.
