In addition to a visitor centre with office, shop and information point the park contains a campsite managed by the Camping and Caravanning Club.[3] There is also a seasonal miniature railway with a 1 km track and at the highest point stands the Strangford Stone (Millennium Stone), the tallest megalith in Ireland which was erected in 1999 using the power of 1000 volunteers.[4] However, it was broken in two when erected.[5] There is also a heronry within the park.[6]
