The park's historical sites include some ancient cairns. The park was also the site of Rossmore Castle which was demolished in the 1970s. It was the home of Lord Rossmore and the Rossmore family who were the local landlords of the area during the 18th and 19th centuries.
The park is now used mainly for recreational purposes and has several walking trails. Amongst its trees and plant life are Californian redwoods planted at various locations. One of these Redwoods is situated near the entrance gate. The park also has an adjoining 18 hole golf course of Rossmore Golf Club.
The 2007 horror film Shrooms was filmed here.
