Dorey Park consists of mixed-use facilities with a manmade pond, deciduous woodlands, several sports fields, and a recreation center. Additionally, a portion of the Virginia Capital Trail crosses through the southern portion of the park.

Common woodland species are found throughout with Red-bellied Woodpecker and Blue Jay chattering away from the woods and family groups of Canada Geese sailing about on the ponds. Regular inspection of the park is likely to turn up unusual and unexpected species. Spring and fall migration tend to bring the most surprises. Warblers will trickle through for weeks during these periods and there may even be days when everything aligns and a rare spectacle of abundance occurs. Watch for the wagging tail of Palm Warblers or the bright yellow feet of the female Blackpoll Warbler. High in the canopy Northern Parula, Blackburnian and Bay-breasted warblers clamber about, while Black-throated Blue and Chestnut-sided warblers prefer the middle tree levels. Maybe even a Prairie Warbler or perhaps an American Redstart will fly into the picture.
