The park at Belvoir Lake has plenty to see and enjoy. A sealed accessible path through pretty gardens circles the lake. There are attractive picnic and play spaces and plenty of birds to observe.
Is this walk accessible for me?
Paths are sealed, smooth and flat. Most are suitable for side-by-side travel, wheelchair turning and passing. No steps or overhead obstacles are encountered. It is easy to follow the path around the lake. Map signs are present. These are detailed and may be difficult for some people to interpret.
There are drop offs to grass, water and gravel without safety rails and some cracks and chips in the concrete surface. The lake is subject to flooding.
Rest areas
The area is very well maintained. Accessible roll under BBQs, roll under picnic tables in wheelchair accessible shelters, accessible bins and playground equipment (including a Liberty Swing) are provided. There is a sheltered community pizza oven (book here) and a visiting coffee and refreshment van.
There is tree shade and built shelter. Most of the path itself is exposed to the weather. Frequently spaced seats with back and arm rests and room for wheelchair parking beside them are connected to the walk by concrete paths.
Shorter walking or rolling distances can be organised using alternative parking areas along the walk. Mobile phone coverage is good.
Accessible drinking water fountains are connected to the path.
Accessible toilets are provided.
Dogs must be leashed. A fenced off leash area is separate to the path.
Cyclists may share these pathways.
Parking
Accessible parking spaces are available at Sumison Gardens car park. Surfaces are sealed, smooth and flat. These have protected side zones. Rear loading is toward the traffic stream. There are tactile ramps through kerbs. The driveway needs to be crossed if you do not want to go around the large play spaces. This crossing is unmarked. This car park can be busy. It is a one-way loop with slow traffic.
Other parking areas are available around the lake. Some have gravel parking spaces.
