Scenic riverside walks with a wide variety of waterfowl. Fine bird hide off Castle Island Road. Small Visitor Centre beside ruined castle.
Lovely walk along the riverside towpath, great for spotting a wide variety of ducks. There are several areas to park along the river side on the Strangford Road.
The park includes a ramble for people with limited mobility alongside a wooded riverside path. There are excellent interpretative edicational exhibitions and picnic areas. The bird hide overlooking the freshwater lake allows for excellent bird watching opportunities. In summer, an abundance of swans and various breeding wildfowl can be seen, including the scarcely seen Gadwall. Migrating wading birds make the area home in spring and autumn and in winter large numbers of widgeon and ducks are abundant. The attractive stone cottage visitor centre (open seasonally) with a nature garden features displays on the unique wildlife and history of the area. The centre also has scooter and wheelchair access.
