The park has a jogging track, central walking path, multistage fountain, benches, park lights, flowering bushes, floral arches and shady trees.
The Serena Hotel’s park was made a reality after extensive work as the process had to begin with land levelling and the plantation of new grass. Furthermore, unwanted plants and bushes were removed and new trees, flower beds were planted with a nursery. A new irrigation system has been initiated to upkeep the park.
