De bugtende stier, skulpturer og kig til de gamle byhuse mod vest og stadion mod øst gør parken oplagt til en rolig gåtur, picnic, leg med børn eller en stille pause i byen. Om sommeren danner græsplænerne og pavillonen også ramme om uformelle picnickoncerter og lokale kulturarrangementer i det fri.
