Features of the park include the Ashton Memorial, fountains, a butterfly house , a cafe, a children's play area, the Lancaster sundial on the site of what was once a bandstand, some sculptures and a small folly known as the Temple. The park is extensively wooded, with many pathways winding among the trees.
During July and August each year, the local Duke's Playhouse performs a promenade play in the Park each evening, using the natural scenery as the stage and requiring the audience to follow the actors from scene to scene.
