It has a small dam with ducks and geese, a playground, a zipline, waterslides, and braai (barbecue) facilities. Fishing and canoe hire are available for a fee. It is not a polished attraction, but entry is cheap, the setting is green, and children can roam safely. Weekdays are quiet; weekends can get busy.

Suburban green space; no formal conservation programme.
