The park's best known feature is the panoramic view of Glasgow and its surroundings which can be obtained from the top of the hill.

The golf course has a former railway tunnel running under it, named the "miley" by locals as it was around a mile long.

The course – now officially termed the "Ruchill Community Golf Facility" is now run by Culture and Sport Glasgow, part of Glasgow City Council, and is a nine-hole course, designed with Colin Montgomery's input, apparently suited for developing and established players.

Ruchill Church Hall, designed by the celebrated architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh is located to the west of the area, close to Maryhill Road and the Forth and Clyde Canal; Ruchill Parish Church, designed by Neil Campbell Duff, is located beside it.

A new footbridge over the canal connecting the area with Gilshochill and providing a better link to Maryhill, was installed at Stockingfield Junction in 2022.
