[1][2][4] The design of the created park however, differed significantly from the Kershaw and Hepworth plans.

[2] The Kershaw and Hepworth plans show a croquet lawn, a cricket ground and a large reservoir bordering the park in the east[1] but none of these were ever constructed.

The main carriage entrance is in the north-east on Bowling Hall Road at Lister Avenue.

[1] The site slopes down to the north west making it suitable for tobogganing in winter.

[2] There is a fenced off children's play area,[2] a youth cafe,[5] a multiactivities area,[6] crown green bowling greens operated by the bowling club,[7] and a pitch and putt course created in 1924.
