It has 50 acres (200,000 m2) of land that include ball fields, a playground, hiking trails, horseshoe pits, shuffleboards, and a pavilion.

Permission can be obtained from the Middletown Park and Recreation Commission to host a family outing or company picnic at the pavilion, though handicapped access is limited. The park is closed at sunset and the gates are locked.

There is a wetland meadow that has shrubs like silky dogwood, winterberry, buttonbush, and Northern highbush blueberry. In the center of the woodland there is a small pond.
