Healthy Walks and Trim Trail

The park has 5 sign-posted, easy to use trails of different gradients and distances. A leaflet is available from the Visitor Centre to help you choose a route suitable for you.

The equipment is designed to improve your strength, stamina, balance and co-ordination. The Trim Trail is fun and easy to use. The balance and co-ordination  equipment is especially suitable for the young, while the parallel bars and sit up benches will really tone up the grown ups.

The Pedal Power Project

Based in the Park is a Hearts and Minds Pedal Power Project which, aims to make cycling accessible to children and adults with a variety of disabilities.  Cycling is a low impact form of exercise and is an ideal way to improve and maintain your strength and fitness levels.  Pedal Power uses specially built 3 wheeled bikes around a traffic free 1 mile circuit at Alyn Waters Country Park.
