The site incorporates a mix of country and recreational parkland with the River Pinn running through a copse of mature trees. The newly planted Jubilee wood, football pitches, a playground and trim trail are all accessible with newly laid paths meaning that there is something for everyone, accessible to all.
A number of facilities have been incorporated into the design for Dowding Park whilst maintaining its aesthetic charm. The River Pinn divides the park into two with the more rural side containing the Jubilee wood, woodland trail and river dipping platform. Across the bridges just past the attenuation ponds, the children's playground, trim trail and football pitches are located, close to the housing estate.
