Ticks are small arachnids which feed off the blood of birds and mammals, including pets and people. Ticks are widespread across the UK and can be found in both urban settings and the countryside where there is long grass, rough vegetation and woodland. Numbers vary dramatically during the year and also due to changing weather conditions. They are most active during warm, damp weather. More information about ticks and associated diseases is available from Lyme Disease Action
We support Counter Terrorism Policing's campaign to encourage everyone to look out for each other. To help keep you safe, we have security measures in place you can see, and of course, ones you can't. We are asking our visitors to help by staying alert and trusting their instincts. During your visit to the park, you will see staff members on site, who are there to help you if you need it. If something doesn't feel right during your visit, please report it to a member of staff immediately and they will do the rest. Don't assume that others will report it. In an emergency, please phone 999.
Do not go on to frozen ponds under any circumstances. Children and pets are particularly at risk when tempted to play on the ice formed on open water during cold weather. Pets should be kept on leads when near frozen water and owners should refrain from throwing objects onto ice for them to retrieve.
