Walks through the Park


The Park has been used by the local community since 1929. Many people relax by walking through the park and its woodland areas.

A more formal walk of about 2 miles has been defined around the park.

The walk follows fields, pavements, tarmac and woody paths and care has to be taken on steep slopes. The walk is not suitable for purshchairs or wheelchairs.

  1. Start at the car park by the football changing rooms and follow round the outside of the football field towards the main entrance of the park.
