Accessibility
All Kitchen Courtyard shops and cafes are accessible for wheelchair users, including the Visitor Centre, and a green lift facilitates access to the first floor of the Stables building.
The Kitchen Courtyard has 4 picnic benches that are wheelchair friendly, with one end of the table that juts out to allow wheelchair users to position themselves. We also have a few wheelchair friendly benches dotted around some of our picnic areas, with benches positioned next to an accessible pathway.
Adventure golf has block paved paths all around the course which are wheelchair accessible. All pathways in the upper side of the park are accessible for wheelchair users. Further down from our picnic areas, the pathways are rougher in terrain. Potentially accessible, but down to the discretion of the individual.
Please note, due to the terrain of our paths, we would not recommend our running events for wheelchair users. If taking a stroll or spectating in one of our events, some of the paths are uneven so those with accessibility issues may require assistance.
