There are six disabled parking bays in the car park off the A660. The main circular route around the park and lake and the demonstration gardens are well maintained and fairly flat. Motorised scooters are available to hire for free from the cafe. Accessible toilets are available in the cafe and in the public toilet block next to the cafe. The cafe is wheelchair accessible.

The whole place is a playground for children. There is a NaturePlayground where children can enjoy the outdoors. The park is very dog-friendly, so families can bring their furry friends along for a walk. Picnic areas are also available throughout the park.

Golden Acre Park Volunteers meet every first Wednesday of the month to help with gardening, nature conservation, and looking after the park. New members are always welcome to join the volunteer group.

Bands play in the park on Sundays regularly throughout the summer. This provides a lively and enjoyable atmosphere for visitors to enjoy while exploring the park's gardens and lakeside walk.
