It serves as an art park with some fantastic sculptures, plus it also has some information about the Mt Usu eruption, which still shows signs of a fault line that runs through the park. Mt. Usu, which lies a few kilometers to the south is a stratovolcano that has erupted four times since 1900

The park is a wonderful spot to stroll around, look at the sculptures, take in the gorgeous views of the lake and get some photos. There are about half a dozen sculptures in the park, starting with the carvings of three lionesses, that mark the entrance and the parking area. At the western point of the park , there is a tiny forested outcrop called ‘Chinko Island’ which has a small path running through it. The water around this area is crystal clear

Gibraltar Airport is peculiar in that a road spans across the runway. However this road is not Gibraltar's Main Street described in various internet publications. This road supplies traffic to and from the Airport area and the land frontier to Spain. All vehicular traffic and pedestrains crossing is stopped and the road closed by barriers well in advance before any landing or takeoff. There is no possibility of an aircraft encountering traffic on the runway during normal operations. Plans to create a tunnel to replace this road have been on the shelf for over 10 years now.
