The park's old seminary building includes a kitchen, dining hall, classrooms, dormitory rooms, laundry and chapel. Other facilities are a gymnasium with a stage, a 25-yard indoor heated swimming pool, two tennis courts, six handball courts, an athletic field, picnic areas, parking and a one-mile horse trail.
