What visitors say
We stopped for a coffee and decided to go for a walk. The visitor centre was open, which was great. Toilets are spotless. As a blue badge holder, parking was free. We did a circular walk, the park is huge. Family and dog friendly. Was free from dog litter. Fantastic. A park for the kids.

“Lovely park with peaceful walks along the River Alyn. Great mix of open space and woodland trails, perfect for walking, cycling, or just relaxing. The play area is well maintained, toilets are clean, and the café serves nice drinks and snacks. Plenty of wildlife to spot and it’s very dog friendly too. Parking is cheap and convenient. A really lovely place to spend a few hours outdoors!”

Lovely wander , we chose the river walk, which our new dog "molly" loved. Other walks take you into woodland.. Our walk started in the ample Carpark and was well sign posted.. Seating benches are plentiful, cut outs along the river bank are ideal for our young pup to get to the water for a splash about.. People swimming by the bottom bridge was a surprise, but also shows the water is clean.. Footpaths are well kept and clear, prams,, scooters, bikes, mobility scooter friendly. Areas off the footpaths have been left uncut on purpose to attract birds and wildlife.. By the main entrance is a cafe, picnic tables, gift shop, toilets and play area.. Parking is just £1 all day, if Carpark full, More parking is available on the entrance road.. Disabled parking is by the shop.. Dog walkers, joggers, ramblers and cyclists will enjoy it here. Plenty of room to roam and enjoy a day out.. Would come back to room more of the woodlands....

Dog friendly family orientated park. Disabled bays are next to the cafe. There are bays that are for electric plug-in as well. Blue badge holders can park for free in any space for any amount of time as long as the badge is displayed. Parking tickets are £1 for all day! There are different colour coded walks for calorie burning, and I assume difficulty levels. There are also wheelchair and pushchair friendly routes. Cyclists are welcome as well, and there is a hire place called pedal power that does different bikes for different abilities as well. The phone number can be found easily enough with a little further investigation. I went today with a group of people and used the tandem bikes, side by side, from here and had a great experience! The people who work there are helpful and friendly, and everyone had a great couple of hours. The route we followed was mostly flat and well signposted. There are 2 playground areas for children. If you fancy a walk through the trees, there's plenty of off the path routes. In the warmer months, there are den building areas as well. On another occasion I took my autistic son who doesn't like being around lots of people and my mum who has a walking stick and bad knees, it was about 11.30 am on a Saturday when we arrived, parked easily in a disabled bay then set off on the green walk, there was one slightly steeper point but with help from my son his grandma managed it ok, the rest of the walk was flat and had plenty of benches to stop and have a break. A lovely place to sit and bird watch in peace and quiet. Occasionally, there were dog walkers or wheelchair users going by with a friendly "hello," but otherwise, it was tranquil.
