Dogs

Assistance dogs only

We ask that only assistance dogs attend. This is because other participants may not feel confident or comfortable in close proximity to dogs. Larger groups can also make dogs feel nervous. Thank you.

Mobility

The park is relatively small in site with majority of surfaced paths. There is a woodland area has trails instead of surfaced paths.

If you have any questions about accessibility of this site please Contact Connecting Through Nature Officer: Pip Jackson, pjackson@durhamwt.co.uk or call 07955274116.
