There are picnic areas, an accessible playground , swimming pool and Shepparton Art Museum.

How accessible is the path?
Main paths are smooth, flat, wide and easy to follow with room for side-by-side travel and turning a wheelchair. Accessible map signs are absent. The park is popular, surrounding roads can be busy. Cyclists may share pathways.

Jetties are accessible and include wheel buffers. Safety rails are present on bridges, not elsewhere. Paths may have drop offs to the lake or lawns. Some lips are present where surfaces change. Plant ingrowth narrows some paths. Bollard gaps occasionally narrow to 1 meter. There is a driveway crossing beside the sailing club.

Rest areas
The park is well maintained. There are several shelters - a few have connecting paths to the walking path, others are island settings via soft grass. Areas near the Goulburn River have red gum cover for shade. Most paths are exposed to the weather. Seating is common beside the path. Not all seats have shade, back or armrests.

Shepparton Art Museum and cafe connects to the walk: opening hours.

Some BBQ and picnic areas include roll under table access and accessible bins. Island settings are more common. Accessible water fountains are provided. Nearby shops require road crossings (via traffic lights).

Toilets
