There are benches for sitting, signs for reading, a telescope for viewing and now even a hot dog restaurant for eating. There are a couple of interpretive plaques in the area to add to the fun of your stop.
One of the plaques contains information on the Flood and fire of 1892 that effected everything from Titusville to Oil City with not only a loss of property but of life also. The information on the other sign is is left for you to find when you get there, you got to love a good mystery!! (yep that's right I forgot to take pictures of it)
If it is necessary or you plan to eat anyway you can always park at the hot dog stand where there is a lot of room. All the parking is rather obvious to see when you get to the area.
