Overview

Access is very good and the gardens are working hard to make the experience even better.

Transport & Parking

Disabled parking is available by the West Gate and the John Hope Gateway. Accessible buses pass by the East Gate.

Access

I arrived via the West Gate and there a short distance from the parking to the main door which is automatic. Immediately on entering there's a modern accessible toilet adjacent to the main toilet facilities. Moving into the building there an information point where you can borrow a mobility scooter or wheelchair if you need one. Paths around the gardens are smooth but can be hilly depending on the route you choose. Staff can advise on the best way to go. Some paths have been signposted as wheelchair accessible routes. There are plenty of benches where you can stop for a rest and enjoy the view

Toilets

I tried the accessible loo in the John Hope Gateway. It was spacious, clean and large enough for my fairly large powerchair. Another accessible is by the East Gate Cafe. This one required going through two doors to access; which other visitors held open. Very spacious and room for a carer.

Staff

Great staff, very helpful and informative. Even helped with some ideas for wheelchair height gardening.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

A great place to spend a couple of hours away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
