The park features walking paths, picnic areas, and diverse natural landscapes, including woodlands and meadows. It serves as a habitat for various wildlife, making it a great destination for nature enthusiasts and families alike.
There are numerous informal paths that guide visitors around the park. The management style has given rise to the varied habitats enhancing the wildlife and biodiversity of the area. Benefitting from extensive planting of native trees, shrubs and wildflowers, a variety of natural wildlife habitats have been created.
Undulating gently downwards from north to south, the site has two distinct levels, which are connected by a series of paths and traversed by wide grassy rides.
