The Visitor Centres at Kingsbury Water Park, Ryton Pools Country Park and Pooley Country Park are accessible to less able visitors and to those with mobility problems. Mobility scooters are available to loan (free of charge) at the Visitor Centres.
The scooters have sliding, rotating seats with adjustable armrests which make them easy to get on and off, and they are lightweight so they’re easy to handle. With a range of up to 20 miles, powered by on-board battery, they give plenty of scope for exploration of the parks. There is a weight limit of 18 stones.
If you are hiring for the first time you will need to bring in proof of your identity including photo I.D. and proof of your address. You will also be required to have a contactable mobile phone with you (in case of emergency or breakdown) and you will be required to leave your vehicle key with us whilst you are out on the scooter.
Although our scooter hire is free of charge, it does cost us a lot of money to repair and maintain these vehicles therefore all donations to this would be welcomed. |  | |
