The site includes sealed walking and cycling paths, shaded picnic and barbecue areas, a playground, public toilets and open lawns. Surroundings include river views to Blackwall Reach limestone cliffs, remnant bushland, and the Swan River estuary. Areas to explore include the sandbar, river beach, foreshore trails and bush tracks.
