It now comprises an 18 hole golf course which borders the River Lee Navigation, camping site, indoor bowls club (housed in the remains of the now-demolished Picketts Lock Sports Centre), multiplex cinema and restaurants. A new athletics centre was formally opened on January 16, 2007. The complex is owned and managed by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (LVRPA).
