One of the park's notable features is its dog park, which is situated on a three-quarter-acre site at the south end of the park. This off-leash area is designed to accommodate 20 to 30 dogs simultaneously and is divided into separate sections for large and small dogs. The dog park's surface consists mainly of wood chips and decomposed granite, providing a comfortable environment for canine visitors.

Selma Olinder Park also includes sports facilities for community use. The park features a softball field and soccer field, both of which require permits for use. Additionally, there are two tennis courts available for visitors.

The park is also part of the Coyote Creek Trail system, with a segment of the trail running through it. This connection provides opportunities for walking, jogging, and cycling, allowing visitors to enjoy the natural surroundings.

Selma Olinder Park is open from sunrise to one hour after sunset, providing ample time for visitors to enjoy its facilities throughout the day.
