This review is especially helpful for those who have or use the following: Wheelchair
Overview
The whole place is pretty much accessible as in good enough paths for wheelchairs,. It is a large country park. I could not believe though just how good the toilet facilities were which is quite unusual for a public space I have to say.
Transport & Parking
This is a country park with lots of car parking spaces. If they are full drive to the bottom of the road and there is also car parking in the pub car park too. There is parking in the entrance to the park and also further by the lake too.
Access
My review is mainly about the toilet, the whole park is accessible.
Toilets
This is like the Rolls Royce of public toilets. The toilets were huge and I could not believe how much state of the art equipment had been funded for this park: changing beds, overhead tracking hoist, two showers (fully accessible), loads of grab rails in all of the right places. More than anything it was clean, well maintained and i just wish all public toilets were like this.
Staff
The toilets were closed at 5pm which is fair enough really as we are not really in summer yet. I saw a park attendant Tony who was very helpful and I asked him if he could open them for me. He was extremely friendly and helpful.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
Makes such a change to find facilities like this, it is a great example of what we should have everywhere really.
