The Taff Trail running through the park is part of the National Cycle Network Route 8.
The park area serves as an important green corridor for local wildlife, including bats and various species of river-dwelling birds.
The site hosts a designated 'Friends of' volunteer group that organizes local conservation and cleanup events.
Hailey Park is a public green space situated along the banks of the River Taff in the Llandaff North area of Cardiff. The park serves as a significant stop on the Taff Trail, a long-distance cycling and walking route connecting Cardiff Bay to Brecon. The site features dedicated sports pitches for local football and rugby clubs, alongside an equipped children's play area. A network of paved and gravel paths facilitates pedestrian access throughout the park's meadow and woodland areas. The park is managed by Cardiff Council with active support from the Friends of Hailey Park community group. The geography includes a flood plain landscape that contributes to the local river ecosystem.
