The site includes the following features:
- entrance staging area
- winding trails
- diverse terrain
- open training sites
- rest locations
- agility park
- amphitheatre
- interpretive kiosks
- small dogs area
Due to the site's closeness to Piper Creek, the trails and amenities were designed to mirror the creek's wandering nature; hence, it has appropriately been named 'The Oxbows", as the term "oxbow" is widely used to refer to a U-shaped meander in a river.
