The park features an amphitheater and sculptures with decorative fountains that shape how visitors experience the grounds. These artistic elements are woven into the landscape and give the place a designed, intentional feel.

The grounds have play areas for children, walking paths of different difficulty levels, and water-based activities like kayaking available. Depending on the season, certain areas may be better suited for different types of visits.
