There are several open grassy areas and a few footpaths exploring the rocky outcrops. The track along the foreshore is mostly fenced, and is a great way of exploring Middle Harbour Creek. There are electric BBQ's, a picnic shelter and a drinking fountain, down by the water at the northwestern end of the park.

Sandstone Pillar overhang
This sandstone overhang is of particular note, due to the stone pillar supports that appear to be reinforcing it. Prior to WW1, members of the army built these pillars and surrounding tracks as part of their training. It appears that this was added to during the depression, with further sandstone masonry work. Their efforts have resulted in a Lara Croft reminiscent ruin - OK, maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but the cave is a highlight of the tracks in the area.
