• two very popular playgrounds

• Humpty Dumpty! (He's 50 years old.)
• a skate ramp (half pipe)
• free barbeques
• Memorial cenotaph
• Memorial Pools 
• miniature railway and mini golf
• Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre and Memorial Hall

There are two large fields that are often used for events: Jordan Field and Memorial Field.

Public toilets are available at the Rowing Club building and at the rear of the QEYC, opposite the miniature rail station.

The Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre and a private restaurant are at the 11th Avenue side of the park.
