About the event

A quiet morning session exploring the reserve and the wildlife found here, for families with a member with any additional needs and/or a disability. Activities will include using nets to look at animals found in the pond, looking under logs to see what minibeasts we can find plus additional sensory activities.

Education area between the tunnel and pond. What-three-words location: whips.calm.arrow. The nearest entrance is at Crescent Wood Road.

Mobility

Gates prohibit access by wheelchair users. Footpaths are uneven and there are many steps because of the Wood’s inclines. The Green Chain Walk goes through SHW and Cox’s Walk. Numbered fingerposts denote points of the nature trail. Benches are placed around the reserve. Street parking is available in Crescent Wood Road. The nearest Changes Places Toilet is located in Dulwich Park.
