Author Review

Very enjoyable walk. As soon you arrive, just by the main car park, there is an entrance to the park. There you will notice what probably is the busiest part of the park, with large open fields, café, toilets and where you will see the majority of people. Once you follow one of the trails, then you will encounter a more quiet walk. Lots of shaded areas, what was good for Maple, as we visited the park on a very warm day. It was also easy to go around with clear signage giving the directions to the different routes of the park. The park is very vast, and we managed to cover only a small part of it, but definitely worth going back to explore new areas of the park.
