What we could not confirm
Visitors have not described these, so we are not guessing:
- Enclosure
- Ground surface
- Seating
- Accessibility
How we know this
Every value above comes from what visitors described on site, read one park at a time. Where accounts disagree we say so rather than picking a side. Where nobody has mentioned something, we leave it blank and ask you.
