Does the Park provide access for visitors with disabilities?
Yes we do. The Park is proud of its facilities for disabled people. Two standard wheelchairs are available to borrow from the Visitor Information Centre. All shops and toilets are accessible by wheelchairs and there are ramps at the entrance to all buildings.
Additionally, a dedicated train carriage has been constructed by the Bennett Brook Railway to enable visitors in wheelchairs to enjoy train rides around the Park.
I am planning an outing for my social club/sporting club. Do I need to book?
It is not necessary to book but depending on the day, time of the year and size of the group it may be advisable as the Park is very popular in autumn, spring and particularly leading up to Christmas for group outings. Picnic shelters may be booked to ensure availability and other activities and attractions can be arranged. There is no limit to group sizes.
Are there plenty of barbeques?
There are dozens of gas and electric barbeques throughout the Park's picnic areas. The gas and electric BBQs are operated by $1 coins, with each coin providing heat for a cycle of approximately 12-15 minutes.
Change for the barbeques is available from the Visitor Information Centre between 10am - 4pm.
