Accessibility
Pros:
"Easy to access about 3 min drive from West Bromwich and a few minutes drive from M5 J1."
"Parking was easy with front accessible toilets."
"If you go up the ramp by the pond (so opposite side to main play area) it is all paved/smooth so ideal for taking pushchairs and wheelchairs."
"Parking is plentiful and good value, easily spend a day there."
"Ample parking facilities."
"Huge car parking area for disabled too."
"Parking £2 for 4 hours & over so not too expensive like some places for parking."
Cons:
"The CAR PARK should be a lil bit more bigger then it is."
"If you don't have a phone on you there is no where to pay for parking at Swan pool car park."
"The meters don’t take credit cards and you’re not able to pay for parking via an app."
"Parking is a little troublesome as a lot of people don't know how to park and didn't leave space for others to get out."
"Mobile connection is poor, so paying for parking via the app (which was also buggy) was useless."
"Parking can sometimes be so stupid people get blocked in so be aware of how you leave your vehicle."
"Paying for parking is a nightmare. It's coins or download an app."

"Unfortunately too, the gents toilets were the worst I have ever seen in the entire country. Just disgusting."
"The park was absolutely filthy. Bins were full and rubbish was spilling on to the floor."
"Bins aren't emptied during the day, rubbish overspills outside and around all the bins."
"The bins are usually overflowing with rubbish and need to be more available or emptied more frequently."
"But the toilet situation is dire... Only one toilet open for everybody (men / women /children incl disabled) so a 20+ min queue, and the one toilet had no soap and dirty (blood / poo) toilet paper on the floor."

Cons:
"Prices can add up if you have several children and in the summer it gets very busy but great place."
"Nothing open and no animals after we got there, which something could have been advertised to stop disappointment."
"Been twice rubbish animals have disappeared and moved permanently to Forge Mill. The big maze has been cut down."
"The farm animals aren't there either but children enjoyed walking around the gardens and seeing the rabbit village."
"Only downside is that the farm wasn't opened due to covid19 but I will be back when it opens."

Cons:
"No swings in the park."
"The farm cafe and the refreshment shack does not allow dogs, so no cup of tea after our lovely walk."
"The main play area you can't get near with dogs so couldn't let grandkids use it on their own and couldn't use the cafe."
"The kids sandpit is directly under trees, it should be raked up minimum once a day."
"Fair ground rides took up lots of the green space so limited places to sit for a picnic."
"Not a single person socially distancing. We arrived at the park to have a nice walk to exercise. Instead, we were greeted by crowds of people queueing for hot drinks and food."
"The entire park was shut off, they couldn't play at all, the council were fixing or updating the equipment everything was either fenced off or shut off with planks of wood making it impossible for the children to play."
