The park has a small playground, but is well maintained. There is a large covered structure with bench seating that can be used for small gatherings, picnics and just sitting in the shade. There are picnic tables around the park area, as well.
The playground has a large jungle gym, and swings. There is a soccer field also included in the park.
The park was restored through the efforts of residents in the area. They held fund raisers and bottle drives to fund the project. It took them about 2 1/2 years to complete restoring the park.
The park is named after Reg Stone who was a well known curling champion during the 40's. He was elected to the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame in 1974, and to the British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame in 1984.
In 1949, Reg became the Superintendent for the Trail-Tadanac Parks and Recreation Commission and stayed until his retirement in 1974.
