The Gatehouse and inner boardwalk area are open to the public on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Opening times are 10am to 5pm until the clocks go back on October 27th 2024, when the park will be closing at dusk each day. Visits are free and there’s no need to book ahead. Note that access to the inner park is through the Gatehouse building.
The outer boardwalk remains closed for major repairs and alterations to help the park cope with the increased density of development in the surrounding area. We have received planning permission to connect the outer boardwalk to the inner boardwalk via a new bridge that will allow the entire boardwalk network to be open only when the park is wardened – better for wildlife and a better experience for visitors.
