Alyn Waters Country Park — Attraction in Gwersyllt

Dog friendly family orientated park. Disabled bays are next to the cafe. There are bays that are for electric plug-in as well. Blue badge holders can park for free in any space for any amount of time as long as the badge is displayed. Parking tickets are £1 for all day! There are different colour coded walks for calorie burning, and I assume difficulty levels. There are also wheelchair and pushchair friendly routes. Cyclists are welcome as well, and there is a hire place called pedal power that does different bikes for different abilities as well. The phone number can be found easily enough with a little further investigation. I went today with a group of people and used the tandem bikes, side by side, from here and had a great experience! The people who work there are helpful and friendly, and everyone had a great couple of hours. The route we followed was mostly flat and well signposted. There are 2 playground areas for children. If you fancy a walk through the trees, there's plenty of off the path routes. In the warmer months, there are den building areas as well. On another occasion I took my autistic son who doesn't like being around lots of people and my mum who has a walking stick and bad knees, it was about 11.30 am on a Saturday when we arrived, parked easily in a disabled bay then set off on the green walk, there was one slightly steeper point but with help from my son his grandma managed it ok, the rest of the walk was flat and had plenty of benches to stop and have a break. A lovely place to sit and bird watch in peace and quiet. Occasionally, there were dog walkers or wheelchair users going by with a friendly "hello," but otherwise, it...

A great place to visit, walk and explore. There are plenty of places to picnic and a large children's play area close to the carpark. There is a toilets, café and information centre but because of covid19 it was all closed up at the time of our visit. There are several designated walks of various lengths and levels of difficulty specifically designed to meet the needs of a wide range of abilities. The local authority have the following to say about Alyn Water: The largest country park in the Wrexham area, Alyn Waters is situated in the beautiful Alyn Valley and is currently a Green Flag accredited site. There are a variety of woodland, grassland and riverside walks throughout the Park helping you to explore the whole site. The Park is split into two either side of the River Alyn. The Gwersyllt side of the Park offers parking, a visitor centre with café, gift shop and toilets including baby change facilities. The Visitor Centre also has fully equipped conference and meeting rooms to hire and a permanent exhibition on the history and wildlife of the Park. The Llay side of the Park has a large car park, children’s playground and a Local...

It's ok, pretty small, you can get round it in half an hour. The play park is good for the children but there is no roundabout or see saw and only one small slide. Avoid the cafe, especially if you have any dietary requirements. They don't cater for people who eat dairy or gluten free and don't provide anything for vegans any more (they did before it was taken over). The menu says that the staff will be able to discuss dietary requirements but to be honest, the staff couldn't care less. It took ages for them to make a kids box which contained a sandwich so thick my little one couldn't get his mouth around it, a small freddo and a very old orange that they probably wanted to get rid of. My partners baguette looked anaemic and wasn't what he asked for. It looks like they use the cheapest ingredients to make a profit. I'll stick to Wepre Park in future where they bent over backwards to make sure that, as a vegan, I could have lunch with my family and they even made a vegan cake. It's very poor in this day and age that people with different dietary requirements are still marginalised by companies who just want to make as big a profit...
