It has a playground and athletics track,[3] and hosts events such as a music festivals,[4] weekly organised Parkruns[5] and yearly car shows.[6]
A 2 kilometre pathway circles the park making it popular with joggers, cyclists and dog-walkers.
The former park keeper's lodge is being converted by Mencap into an office and three business units that will teach people that fall under Mencap remit horticulture, bicycle repair and catering whilst also being viable businesses.[7] The catering unit for example will take the form of a café which will meet a need of the park not covered by a permanent solution.
The park for the most part does not share its borders with any housing (instead bordered by farmland and Scrogginhall Wood[8]), giving the park a sense of space and reducing risk that noise affects neighbours.
