A 2008 community survey shows that residents use the park for many activities, the most popular being: as a playground, for walking or walking the dog, playing basketball and playing baseball.
The Rec on the Go program brings games and activities to the park every Thursdays each summer, from June 15 through August 14th. Art Van Go, hosted by the Two Twelve Art Center for children five to fourteen, also meets at the park each Thursday, from June 15th to August 6th.
Please note that the tennis courts at Brecon Park have been closed due to disrepair and, given the results of a community survey, are likely to be replaced by further playground equipment or a pavilion at some point in the future.
