While small compared to larger protected areas, Esplanade Park plays a vital role in urban ecology by providing habitat for local wildlife and a place for city residents and visitors to relax and recreate. Historically, the park was established as part of a city initiative to increase public green spaces, enhancing quality of life in a bustling metropolis. Visitors to Esplanade Park can enjoy a variety of activities such as picnicking, walking, and enjoying the park's public art installations. The park is particularly appealing for its central location and accessibility, serving as a gateway for both cultural exploration and relaxation amidst the urban environment.
