This is a nature-centered park with both active and passive areas to enjoy the outdoors and take in the natural landscape. The park design seeks to balance the conservation of the site by utilizing a reestablished oak savanna prairie landscape in much of the park area, as well as grass lawn to facilitate playable open space for informal ball, catch, sledding, or other activities. The park is also home to a farm-themed playground, picnic shelters, bathrooms, and hammock posts.
Farmstead Bike Park
A major highlight of this park space is the Farmstead Bike Park, a destination for riders of all skill levels. Some of the bike park features include:
- Multi-Use Trails: A winding, two-way singletrack-style path through the prairie landscape.
- Skills Loop: A granite-surfaced track with rollers and optional features for beginning riders, plus a bike repair station with tools and an air pump.
- Bike Park Trails: Progressive downhill runs with earthen rollers, berms, and man-made jumps. Trail armor surfaces reduce erosion and improve durability.
