As a major urban resource, it features an arboretum, native prairie, extensive ornamental and native gardens, along with a playground, picnic area and inspiring Nature Center.

The wooded area contains natural springs (fen) and wetlands, a pond, a long stretch of the White River, a beech-maple forest, and over 400 species of trees, shrubs and wildflowers. Bird watchers have spotted more than 200 species. In addition, deer, fox, beaver, rabbits, squirrels and many other native animals reside in or pass through the Park's heavily wooded ravines.
