Pathway through Cannon Hill Park
Having come out of the Wildlife zoo, and turned right the left on the driveway, Park your car as near as you can on Queens Ride to the gated railings that will lead you into the park towards The Red carriage bridge.
now follow the boating lake and head towards the MAC centre ahead of you.
late spring sees the park full of Canadian geese.
Early afternoon will see the pedalos being well used, mainly by families.
The second smaller lake is that of “Canoe Pool” The pigeons are always there, but you have a chance to see any of the 32 species of bird recorded visiting the park.
The train will arrive here at the Canoe pool, an ideal way for senior citizens to see the park, as well as young children, but it’s expensive for what you will see. During 2023 it cost £ 2.50 each for seniors, no help for disabled. But at least you will be taken on a round trip that will allow you to see almost all of the park area.
if you and your carer would enjoy a short walk in the park, then join us as we show you around. Follow the main path around away from the Canoe Pool from behind the Train starting and finishing point.
your path to follow will now take you away from the pool as you stay on the right, but first it’s worth taking a view over the pool, before leaving it behind, it’s so peaceful and attractive.
You will hear the happy sounds of small birds and water birds, and the little voice of a squirrel may be heard. There are lots of them all over the park.
The path branches off to the left, with wonderful views of many of the 100 species of trees from around the world.
Your path will now stay to the right so as to pass the first tennis court.
Over to your left you approach the South African Memorial erected in 2019. The flower beds are beautiful at this time of year as the first flush of summer colour begins to show.
You though, keep on the path that will swing right, and takes you round towards the Golden Putter putting course.
It’s a nicely laid out course, artificial green grass takes the holes over little waterfalls, and round and round you go, a lovely easy exercise course as well.
Next to this stands a piece of land used for various shows, today it was a visiting fair, not a lot of interest, but would be ideal for your youngsters.
your eye though may be caught by the Ice cream van ahead that stands by the train station and the MAC centre ahead.
it’s like a little kid isn’t ? Do men ever grow up ? Why do they get into such a mess ? He will definitely need to go and wash his face after that.
The MAC centre has toilets, and an easy downhill ramp leads the way in.
Just inside and to your left you will find a small lift, big enough for most chairs anyway. Go down to level “minus 1”
The accessible toilet is large enough to take scooters as well, nicely decorated without being fussy, with pull cord and grab rails.
