Klosterenga goes towards a northwest–southeast direction, almost {{Convert|66|acre}}. It is bordered by the wall around Oslo Prison in the north, Nonnegata and the homes north of Schweigaards gate in the south, Grønlands park – Botsparken in the west and Kjølberggata and Galgeberg in the east. Jarlegata runs through Klosterenga. In the east is a sports field.
Hovinbekken previously flowed through the park's area, and this is to be reopened through the park.{{Cite web |date=2013-08-22 |title=Nye funn bekrefter bosetting ut over Middelalderbyen |url=http://www.osloby.no/nyheter/Nye-funn-bekrefter-bosetting-ut-over-Middelalderbyen-7347039.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023065216/http://www.osloby.no/nyheter/Nye-funn-bekrefter-bosetting-ut-over-Middelalderbyen-7347039.html#.UmdyKXaumHn |archive-date=2013-10-23 |access-date=2023-06-13 |website=Osloby |language=no}}
In 1999, the Klosterenga sculpture park was completed, with sculptures by Bård Breivik, including "Den flerkulturelle plass" with sculptures and a pool at the east end, where there is also a sports field. The sculpture park was refurbished in 2005–2007.{{Cite web |title=KLOSTERENGA PARK |url=https://www.laplus.no/portfolio/klosterenga-park/ |access-date=2023-06-13 |website=LA+ |language=nb-NO}}
In October 2013, traces of medieval settlements were found in the park; it was previously unknown that people should have lived there at that time.
