It is developed over an area of 160 hectares (400 acres)[1] between the neighbourhoods of Mount Pleasant, Capitol Hill, Collingwood and Highland Park.

The park has picnic tables, toboggan hills, cycle paths, tennis courts and baseball diamonds.

[2] In winter the golf course is open for cross-country skiing and the park hosts the Lions Club Christmas Light Display in December and January.

[3] In the mid-1960s, efforts to conserve the North Hill Coulee, a brook which remained undeveloped because of uneven terrain, were organized in the form of the Centennial Ravine Park Society.

Because the park follows the course of the North Hill Coulee, there is a riparian habitat, which supports an assortment of plants such as Douglas fir, dogwood and willows, despite the urbanized surrounding area.
