The hill fort is located within Hollingbury Park, an area of approximately most of which is occupied by the municipal golf course, designed in 1907 and remodelled in 1936. The park also contains football pitches, six tennis courts, a bowling green and a children’s playground. For many years the park was known by locals as "The Rocket Park" on account of the rocket-shaped climbing frame in the playground but this was removed and the playground extended in the early 1980s. An area towards the northern end of the park is fenced off and contains a weather station and underground reservoir. On a clear day, the park offers views over the city to the English Channel.
