Covering four acres, the park features a wide variety of amenities such as a large, clean swimming pond, agility equipment, sand pits, tunnels, and open grassy spaces for running.

Visitors will find refreshments including hot and cold drinks, snacks, and dog treats for sale via vending machines and honesty boxes.
