The Park includes a crannog known locally as the Hill o' Bones, a wildflower meadow, bird walk, lake feature, mounds, children's playground and car park.

The Suck Valley Co-Operative Society Ltd. run the Suck Valley Angling Centre based in the Old Church of Ireland, Athleague, on the banks of the river Suck, one of the best coarse fishing rivers in Ireland. The Centre houses an information centre, craft shop, gallery and coffee shop, all geared to the visiting angler. The Church of Ireland sold this Church to the Council in 1978 on the basis that it be used for the further development of the area.

Meaning "the way to health" Slí na Sláinte is an exercise incentive scheme originated by the Irish Heart Foundation. The objective of the scheme is to promote regular exercise in the form of walking. As a result of Roscommon County Council having adopted the scheme routes have been located in Roscommon and Strokestown towns. The route around Roscommon Town covers 8 kilometres and is comprised of two 4 kilometre routes clearly signposted around the town. The Strokestown route is also 8 kilometres in length and begins at the Heritage Centre. From this point you can walk in the direction of Cloonfinlough Lake for 4 kilometres and then return by the same route for a total of 8 kilometres. The Mid-South Roscommon Leader Company, in conjunction with Roscommon County Council has developed a 137.2 mile long cycle route around south Roscommon in order to promote tourism and highlight some sights of interest around the area. The route covering Kiltoom, Kielty, Birchgrove, Ballyforan, Athleague, Roscommon, Knockcroghery, Derryglad and Four Roads attracts tourist attention to these parts of the County. The route has been split into stages so that the cycle can be spread over 7 days with an average of 19 miles covered per day. This gives cyclists an opportunity to see the countryside and spend some time around the County thus encouraging further interest in the amenities the County has to offer. Midlands-East Tourism in conjunction with Roscommon County Council have developed a cycling route through counties Roscommon, Longford, Westmeath, Meath and Louth. It commences at Rathcroghan, Co. Roscommon and can be followed out the county along the N5 as far as Tarmonbarry or along the N61 as far as Athlone. The cycle route follows the route of the route of the legendary Táin Bó Cuailgne or Cattle-Raid of Cooley. The planning and construction of this 110.5 mile long walking route, 39 miles of which are in County Roscommon was carried out under the co-ordination of a Committee comprised of representatives form Leitrim, Roscommon and Sligo County Councils and a number of voluntary bodies in the catchment of the route. The walk forms part of the Cospoir approved national network of long distance walking routes. The route links with the existing Slí Liatroma long distance walking route at Dowra and stretches from there through the Arigna Mountains area via Arigna, Keadue and Ballyfarnon and onwards towards Knockvicar and on to Lough Key Forest Park and Boyle and from there it stretches outwards towards the Curlews via Ballinfad and Castlebaldwin and turns eastward at Castlebaldwin towards Highwood and back towards Arigna again. The route is entitled the Miners Way/Historical Trail. The Miners Way to denote the fact that it covers the coal mining area of Arigna and Historical Trail as it follows the route taken by the Red Earl in the ninth Century. The route provides a challenging and interesting experience for walkers. It traverses a wide range of geographical landscapes ranging from mountains to lowlands. A detailed map guide, which highlights many sites of historical, geological and archaeological importance along the route is available.

Saoráid speisialta laistigh den pháirc is ea an clós súgartha. Rinneadh é a dhearadh le go mbeadh sé oiriúnach do leanaí suas go dhá bhliain déag d'aois. Riarann Comharchumann Ghleann na Suca Ionad Slatiascaireachta Ghleann na Suca atá suite i seanteampall Eaglais na hÉireann, Áth Liag, ar bhruach abhainn na Suca, ceann de na aibhneacha is fearr le haghaidh garbhiascaireachta in Éirinn.

Dhíol Eaglais na hÉireann an teampall seo leis an gComhairle sa bhliain 1978 ar an mbonn go gcuirfí chun leas an cheantair é. Ghlac an Chomhairle léas fadtéarma ar an réadmhaoin i gcomhpháirt le Comharchumann Ghleann na Suca Teo ar cíos ainmniúil. Leanfaidh an Chomhairle de bheith ag tacú leis an tsaoráid turasóireachta luachmhar seo. Scéim chun daoine a spreagadh chun dea-shláinte is ea Slí na Sláinte, a thionscain Foras Croí na hÉireann. Tá sé mar chuspóir ag an scéim cleachtas na haclaíochta ar bhonn rialta a chur chun cinn i bhfoirm siúlóide. Mar thoradh ar an scéim a bheith glactha ag Comhairle Contae Ros Comáin tá slite curtha ar bun i mbaile Ros Comáin agus i mBéal na Buillí. 8 gciliméadar ar fad atá sa tSlí thart ar bhaile Ros Comáin agus is é atá ann dhá bhealach 4 chiliméadar an ceann. Tá comharthaí bóthair le feiceáil go soiléir fan na slí timpeall an bhaile. 8 gciliméadar atá i Slí Bhéal na mBuillí freisin agus is san Ionad Oidhreachta a thosaíonn sé. Ón áit sin is féidir leat siúl i dtreo Loch Chluain Fionnlocha go feadh 4 chiliméadar agus filleadh ansin ar an tslí chéanna, turas 8 gciliméadar ar fad. I gcomhpháirt le Comhairle Contae Ros Comáin, d'fhorbair Cuideachta Leader Ros Comáin Lár-Theas raon rothar 137.2 ciliméadar thart ar dheisceart Ros Comáin d'fhonn an turasóireacht a chur chun cinn agus aird an phobail a dhíriú ar chuid de na radharcanna suimiúla timpeall na háite. Clúdaíonn an raon Cill Tuama, Caoilte, Garrán Beithe, Béal Átha Feorainne, Áth Liag, Ros Comáin, Cnoc an Chrochaire, Doire Ghlad agus Tigh Srathra agus meallann sí turasóirí chun na gcodanna sin den chontae. Tá an raon deighilte ina chéimeanna ionas gur féidir an turas rothaíochta a shíneadh thar 7 lá má chlúdaítear 19 míle sa lá ar an meán. Ar an gcaoi sin bíonn deis ag na rothaithe an taobh tíre a fheiceáil agus roinnt ama a chaitheamh timpeall an chontae, agus spreagtar suim bhreise sna taitneamhachtaí atá ar fáil.

Rianann an raon rothar bealach Tháin cháiliúil Bó Cuailgne. Rinneadh an bealach siúlóide seo atá 110.5 ar fhad, agus a bhfuil 39 míle de i gContae Ros Comáin, a phleanáil agus a thógáil faoi choimirce coiste ar a raibh ionadaithe ó Chomhairlí Contae Liatroma, Ros Comáin agus Shligigh mar aon le roinnt foras deonach i ndobharcheantar an bhealaigh. Tá an bealach mar chuid den ghréasán náisiúnta de bhealaigh shiúlóide fadraoin atá ceadaithe ag Cospóir.

Leiríonn Bealach na Mianadóirí go dtéann an raon trí cheantar mianadóireachta na hAirgní agus tugtar Slí na Staire air de bhrí go leanann sé an treo a chuaigh an tIarla Rua sa naoú céad. Tabharfaidh an bealach dúshlán an choisithe agus cuirfidh an siúlóir céanna spéis ann freisin. Trasnaíonn an bealach réimse leathan de ghnéithe an tírdhreacha idir airde sliabh agus ísle gleann. Tá treoir mhionsonraithe ar fáil i bhfoirm mapa, ina bhfuil eolas faoi chuid mhaith láithreacha a mbaineann tábhacht stairiúil, gheografach agus seandálaíochta leo fan an bhealaigh.
