The 'Homestead', the former site of the farmhouse, offers areas of shade and features the park's signature "10-metre tall treehouse [of four platforms] with a central rope ladder, a [stainless steel] spiral slide, and the log jam". The log jam is a climbable timber structure, and an ‘aerial’ rope walkway. The 'Paddock' area was once home to horses and stables. It now features the 35-metre long tandem ziplines, the rolling hill with a built-in slide, three-metre high swings, a pivot swing, and a meadow maze. Birds, such as hawks, eagles, owls and at-risk herons, arrive in the conservation area of the park during the winter months. This park provides an excellent habitat for birds and other wildlife in the area. Boardwalks, slough and viewing platforms are available for enhanced park visibility and access. A section of a nearby dyke has been opened up in order to refill the waterway and allow for fish and other wildlife to survive in this area. The City of Richmond has issued the replanting of native grasses and crabapple trees in order to restore some of the natural plant species of this environment. Note that Dogs are not allowed given the City of Richmond Animal Control Bylaw 8612. Park facilities include three portable toilets and picnic benches. As explained by Kevin Connery, City of Richmond Park Planner, there are plans for permanent bathrooms to be put in place, however, this is difficult given the park's location as it is quite far from the sewer line. As well, Terra Nova features the "Red Barn" which is used primarily as a gathering place. It features both a new kitchen and washrooms. Various agriculturally oriented activities take place at the park, including a water-wise demonstration garden and a community garden. Terra Nova is also home to user groups such as The Sharing Farm and the Terra Nova School Yard Society. The park is also used for many other activities, such as the Raptor Festival and Raptor Program, the 8th Annual Garlic Festival, the Terra Nova Camping Program, and Terra Nova Schoolyard Program for pre-school to elementary school age students.
