Hawk Island Park features a paved 1.5-mile trail, a beach for swimming, a picnic area, a splashpad, and a fishing dock. There is also a concession stand, a community-built playground, and a store where guests can rent paddleboats and rowboats. In the game area, visitors can play a game of volleyball or enjoy a round of horseshoes.

Dogs are not allowed in the park unless they are on a leash; however, the pet-friendly Soldan Dog Park is adjacent to Hawk Island Park. For winter guests, the park has plenty of space for tubing and sledding. Hawk Island Park is the newest recreational area in South Lansing, so all of its facilities are clean and up-to-date. The park is open year round for a small fee.
