Country parks like this one are often shared with farm use, so dogs may need to stay on a lead, and gates should be closed behind you. Toilets and other facilities in rural parks can be basic, so bring water and tissues. Tracks can turn muddy after rain, so sturdy shoes are a good idea. Early mornings tend to be quieter for a walk or a dog run.
It is a handy place to stretch your legs on the way through Wellsford.
