Notable landmarks within the park include the Albert Memorial, the Italian Gardens, and the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Playground, each contributing to its cultural and historical significance. The park also features statues such as those of Queen Victoria and Peter Pan, and the Serpentine Gallery is located nearby, enhancing the artistic environment.

The park is designed to provide accessible strolling areas and open spaces suitable for leisure and outdoor activities. It blends natural beauty with elements of royal history and art, maintaining its status as a key part of the royal estate.
