The facility offers a large covered pavilion available for group picnicking with panoramic views of the water, along with numerous picnic tables scattered throughout a well-maintained grassy lawn. The beach area provides a relaxing setting for swimming and wading during the summer season. The park's location on the Alabama River Lakes system makes it a popular destination for locals and visitors looking to enjoy water-based recreation in south-central Alabama.
