The district park features almost nine hectares of open space. Adjacent to the main car park (with provision for 20 cars accessible only via Serpentine Close) is a well equipped and modern play area catering for both junior and senior, the focus of many a family visit. Very close to the main car park is a landscaped area originally intended as a cricket pitch.
Each of the surrounding woodlands has a distinctive character, with much of the site being classed as ancient woodland, having been wooded for the past 400 years and presumably much longer.
