The park is mostly staffed by volunteers who work to maintain the ever-expanding collections of artefacts, vehicles and buildings that typify the heritage of the Gippsland area.

The extensive historical collection on display at the park comprises various antiques, artwork, books and papers, the largest publicly owned collection of horse-drawn vehicles, machinery, tools, and a wide range of unique and forgotten devices all representing the pioneer era in Gippsland.

In addition, the Park grounds and function rooms are frequently hired for weddings, reunions and other special occasions.

Old Gippstown is used by a broad range of community groups, including those doing meditation, crafts, arts, car clubs and more.

Many school groups also regularly take excursions to Old Gippstown, and the Park's function rooms are often hired out to training organisations and other local businesses who wish to make use of the space available and the easy-to-reach location.
