Overview

Plenty of parking, great cafe, good loos and loads of sport thrown in!

Transport & Parking

One of the largest dedicated Blue Badge car parks I've seen in a long time. Plenty of space to transfer from the car to the wheelchair. The parking bays are are about 100m from the main entrance. The signposting from the main road was not as clear as it couldh've been. We drove to the wrong entrance before finding out way to the accessible parking. Not too sure about public transport but there were buses running along the nearby main road.

Access

Getting into the building from the dedicated parking was fine with a level surface; albeit around 100m to travel. The accessible doors were of the push pad type. Once inside the main concourse was level and smooth to wheel around. There's a reception with dropped level counter. Once inside you're by the cafe and an accessible loo. Going through the barrier you're in the sports areas where signs and a lift point you in the right direction. The wheelchair veiwing areas were spacious and there were seats for companions. The view was fairly good although some areas were not so easily visible.

Toilets

The accessible loos were good once you found them. Although they has the stick out style signs these were not always obvious from a wheelchair height. In the main concourse on the upper level there was one accessible toilet. Others were in the avenue between the upper consource and the viewing areas. These were not so obvious as you passed by. Some signage by the entrance to this avenue area would improve this greatly. Once inside the loos were fine with space to move, good grab rails and what you'd expect to find as a wheelchair user.

Staff

Staff were helpful and knowledgable.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

A great place to visit to see the sporting events. A little more signage on the approach roads would help visitors.
