In the park you can find an abundance of wildlife including woodpeckers, common warblers in spring and summer, mute swans, visiting whooper swans, great-crested grebes and herons. Mammals include foxes, roe deer, voles, moles, rabbits and grey squirrels. There are good crops of crocus in spring, followed by daffodils and bluebells and gorse is present in the northern side of the park.

The Monet Garden, which is based on the gardens planted by the French Impressionist 'Monet' at Giverny in France, was introduced to the park during summer 1999.
