This park was proclaimed primarily to conserve the Southern Hairy-nosed Wombats (Lasiorhinus latifrons), as well as being habitat and home of the Fat-tailed Dunnart and Red Kangaroo. Birdlife that share the park include the rare Stone Curlew, Ground Cuckoo Shrikes and Australian Owlet Nightjars.
 

There is no camping, however there are picnic facilities near the Rangers Office that include gas barbecue and toilets. Although there is access by conventional vehicles, some two thirds of the park are restricted due to the continuing research on the Hairy-nosed Wombat.

Situated in the rain-shadow of the Mount Lofty Ranges, the park is on the fringe of the arid zone, being hot and dry during summer and cold and wet during winter.
