Features
Throughout the park are a number of bridleways, marked cycle routes and footpaths. There are a variety of opportunities available for watersports, including water skiing, jetskis, power boats, sailing and model boat racing. The West Midland Bird Club maintains an information centre and bird hide there and advises on conservation management.
There is also a 7ΒΌ" gauge ridable miniature railway known as Echills Wood Railway. It is run by enthusiasts, who eventually hope to provide a 2 km loop, running a selection of steam, diesel and electric trains.
In November 2011 a new bird hide was erected by Warwickshire County Council allowing birdwatchers to observe birds in their natural habitat. A previous bird hide had been burnt down in December 2010.

Her aspect and her attitude.”
