The Wye Recreation Ground provides a floodlit Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) completed in 2014, a children's play area, a football pitch (currently unmarked), and an informal recreation area which includes a riverside walk. The Jungle adventure play area is on adjacent land owned by Wye's Children's Playing Field Charity.

Wye Tennis Club leases part of the Recreation Ground. The Tennis Club has a modern clubhouse and five courts, four of which are floodlit, and a padel court which opened in 2022. Non-members can hire these courts on a casual basis.

The riverside walk provides direct public access to the Great Stour upstream of Wye Mill, and a small section of a designated 1,013 acre Local Wildlife Site (LWS). This LWS provides a valuable wildlife corridor which follows the course of the Great Stour and its floodplain through Wye, from Kennington and Boughton Aluph to Fordwich. The designated LWS includes the section of chalk river between Wye and Chilham, fed from the chalk aquifer under the North Downs. Chalk streams and rivers are an internationally rare habitat associated with high importance for biodiversity.

The Recreation Ground is protected as a Local Green Space, designated by the Wye Neighbourhood Plan.
