- Farley Hill House ruins: The roofless stone shell of a grand plantation house from the early 1800s, famous as a set for Island in the Sun. Walk the steps and empty rooms, and look at the wide arched frames that once held windows.
- East coast lookout: The ridge edge gives a sweeping outlook over the Scotland District's folded hills and out to the Atlantic. On a clear day the surf line is visible far below, and the breeze here is stronger than anywhere on the island's west side.
- Mahogany woodland: Tall mahogany trees shade much of the park and create a cool, dim canopy even at midday. Look up for birds and for fallen seed pods the size of a fist.
- Picnic lawns: Broad, well-kept lawns are where Barbadian families gather on weekends with coolers, music and cricket games. Visit then if you want local

- Picnic lawns: Broad, well-kept lawns are where Barbadian families gather on weekends with coolers, music and cricket games. Visit then if you want local color, and on a weekday if you want the grass to yourself.
- Barbados Wildlife Reserve: Just next door, this small mahogany-shaded reserve is home to green monkeys that roam freely, along with tortoises, deer, agouti and caged birds. Feeding time for the monkeys is the best moment to go.
- Grenade Hall Forest and Signal Station: A short drive away, a trail and boardwalk wind through shaded gully forest to a restored signal station once used to relay messages across the island. Local guides sometimes explain the old signaling system on site.
