The Millennium Indraprastha Park also features a beautifully manicured Garden planted with beds of colourful flowers. The bushes around the garden are seen clipped and trimmed into fantastic shapes and DDA plans to construct a maze around this garden to add more fun and excitement for the kids. Special efforts are in the pipeline to construct a separate area for toddlers to play around with ample safety features. There is a stunning water pool with cascades and fountain that are fringed with soft lights to ensure that it does not harm the plants surrounding it. These lights are lit up in evenings to add more glamour and attraction to the park. The park is well equipped with pathways made especially for morning walkers and joggers, benches, chairs and stools for sitting and a number of cottages covered with thatched roofs that forms the main attraction of the park for all visitors.

The Millennium Indraprastha Park also uses the assistance of the Sahitya Kala Parishad to organise various cultural events within the huge amphitheatre constructed within this park. For the convenience of the visitors the authorities have also installed drinking water taps and pay toilets at every entrance of the park. Along with these facilities, parking area for 25 cars is also available in front of each of the four gates of the park with security personnel hired for safety against theft. DDA also plans to create a proper parking lot with a reasonable parking fee to be paid in order to accommodate more vehicles and provide better safety as seen in Malls.

The Millennium Indraprastha Park is covered with a bright green carpet of grass that is seen well trimmed and maintained by DDA. In order to create more greenery and natural ambience within the Park, authorities have planted over 2,000 trees fringed along walkways and the contours of the park and they will be adding over 8,000 more saplings of trees in the near future. The work to embed more plants had tremendously slowed down due to the nearby Sanitary Landfill surface filled with excessive methane underneath which obstructs further plantation. Another factor which has been kept in mind is not expunge and obstruct the area touching Humayun Tomb that lies right behind the park as it is deemed as a heritage site by UNESCO.
