The 11-acre park is open daily from sunrise to sunset and is free to visit. Dogs are welcome but must be kept leashed at all times. Trails are for pedestrians only (no bicycles, golf carts, horses, etc.).

Over 55 bird species have been observed on the property, as well as deer, rabbits and other wildlife.
