The park is popular for Kin Point, a development off the main beach, which was originally paid for by the local Kinsmen Club. Kin Point has a beach complex comprising of swim beach, playground, picnic and day use area and vending machines.
The playground has swings, slides, teeter totters, merry go rounds and a creative play center. A fine, modern slo-pitch complex, home to the Yorkton Slo-Pitch League, is comprised of four diamonds in a wagon wheel design with two lighted diamonds. Bleachers for spectators, shelters for players and ample parking are complemented by the concession that is open during tournaments. The park offers three sets of horseshoe pits that border the right side of the picnic area. Horseshoes are available from the park maintenance man.
A boat launch is available to the right of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federal Trap Club on the southeast corner of the park. The lake is shallow so fishing is nonexistent but waterskiing is popular. The Yorkton Canoe and Kayak Club holds an annual canoe regatta and the Navy Cadets have a field day here as well. Watercraft such as light duty boats, canoes, kayaks, small motorized boats are permitted through the park gates.
A 4 km self guided, well treed hiking trail has been built along the north edge of York Lake. It is used daily by park guests who will often see wildlife such as birds, deer and beaver.
