On the territory of the garden were planted whole sites with fruit trees. It was possible to get to Novopoliselensky garden from several sides because there were several entrances. The first entrance was from Budyonnovsky Prospekt, and it was considered the main entrance. The second was located from Pochtovy Lane opposite to 5th Street.

As of 1909 the Novoposelensky garden was one of two existing gardens of Rostov-on-Don for city use - the second object of such a plan was called the City Garden. The territory of both gardens was occupied by plantings of trees, the total area of which occupied 13 acres of land.
