Access, entrances and parking

Google Maps currently suggests about 550 meters and 7 minutes. Head north beside or beneath the elevated railway, then follow the current entrance signs near the park. Navigate to the Ecoark first, then follow on-site traffic and car-park entrance signs. The car park is verified, but its centre point is not treated as the vehicle entrance. The old-channel ticket booth and pier are outside the south-side gate. Take the path to the right of the main entrance without entering the park. Exact gate and booth coordinates remain unverified.

Children, older visitors and weather

Keep children within close adult reach around water and piers. Hope Hill and some paths slope; younger children and older visitors can stay on gentler riverside sections.
