The park has nearly 30,000 square meters of green space, with a greening coverage rate of 56%. The main attraction is "Willows by the Lake and Lotus Viewing," featuring two long causeways stretching north and south across the lake — the southern one is 130 meters long and the northern one is 210 meters long. Both are lined with lotuses and reeds, and there is a small island in the center of the lake. A hexagonal pavilion stands on the earthen hill along the northern lakeshore. It is a Category II, Type III park in Beijing, equipped with a full lighting system, public address system, benches, and other facilities. The park features 1,396 trees, 1,980 flowering shrubs, and 27,600 square meters of lawn, creating a garden landscape that blooms in three seasons and remains green all year round.

The park is divided into several scenic areas including Liuhe Pavilion, Lotus Pond under Moonlight, South Hill, and North Hill leisure zones. Among these, the green area around Liuhe Pavilion is the focus of landscaping and a major highlight, featuring valuable tree species such as metasequoia and ginkgo. The park has planted over a hundred varieties of trees, shrubs, and flowers, including 1,476 trees, 2,040 flowering shrubs, and 27,000 square meters of lawn, forming a garden landscape that blooms in three seasons and remains green all year round.

Originally part of Longtan Lake Park, Longtan West Lake was established in 1986. In 1991, the Longtan West Lake Park Management Office was officially set up. It is now a publicly funded enterprise with differential subsidies, affiliated with the Chongwen District Bureau of Gardens.
