The Nepean Sailing Club is located nearby at adjacent Dick Bell Park.
The park features walking trails, play structures, and picnicking.
Migrating Canada geese, brants, ducks, and shorebirds stop over along the marshy edges of the river near the park.
Currently, dogs are allowed on a leash, but "are prohibited from being within five metres of all children's play areas and pools".
