A small lake is situated within the park and the resident ducks appear always ready to relieve visitors of any food they may have brought for them.

The Aberdeenshire Farming Museum, a restaurant, and a craft shop are situated in the centre of the park, at the Farm Square, and are open on a seasonal basis. Also at the park is the Hareshowe working Farm exhibit, again open on a seasonal basis.

An ice cream kiosk is situated in the main car park and is open during the summer season.

Three public toilet blocks are open during the period April to October inclusive with two blocks including facilities for the disabled. One block is open during the winter period and includes facilities for the disabled. Baby changing facilities are also available.

Picnic tables are available at a number of locations within the park. Visitors are welcome to bring their own barbecues to the park but are requested to use the concrete slabs provided adjacent to some of the picnic tables in order to avoid damage to the grass or wooden tables, and also to minimise any fire risk.

The park has a large childrens play area adjoining the main car park and children may also enjoy a visit to the tree house situated close by the ruined mansion.
A bird hide is situated adjacent to the lake.
