Accessibility
A small circular route runs through the meadow from the car park, which can be accessed by wheelchairs, pushchairs and mobility scooters but is uneven in places. Please be aware that the site is on a hillside so paths are steep throughout. The majority of the paths that run through the woods are not surfaced.

Countryside Code
Natural England and Natural Resources Wales have updated the Countryside Code advice for countryside visitors. Please read the Countryside Code so we can all enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
Dogs
Dogs should be on leads or under close control at all times. Please respect any signage that states that dogs are not allowed in specific areas. Dog waste bins are available on site.
Drones
- Hobbyist – We do not authorise hobbyist drone flying in any of our parks or greenways. The reason for this is to protect wildlife including schedule 1 bird species, and ensure a safe experience for all visitors who enjoy our parks.
- Commercial Operations – A pilot requires permission of the landowner (WCC) to take off and land the drone on their property. We only permit a CAA licensed pilot/company. Any requests must be in writing to the Parks Manager parks@warwickshire.gov.uk.

A variety of events and activities take place at Hartshill Hayes Country Park, led by our park rangers. These can be booked via the Country Parks Eventbrite page.
Memorial for road traffic victims in Warwickshire
Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership commissioned a permanent memorial for all who have been lost or injured on our roads. The permanent memorial is situated at Hartshill Hayes Country Park as part of our commemorative woodland which can be accessed if you take the left path as you pass the playground (What 3 words: highlight.canoe.test).
The memorial offers a peaceful location for people to gather to pay tribute to family members, friends, or colleagues whose lives have been affected by a road traffic collision.

Off-road vehicles
E-scooters, off-road quads, go-peds, mini-motos, hoverboards and Segways are not permitted within our park (mobility scooters are permitted). Electrically assisted bikes are permitted on cycle paths if they meet the Government requirements.
Picnic benches
There are a few picnic benches located in the shelter near the toilets and car park, as well as some commemorative benches overlooking the view from the meadow.
Play area
A compact play area is located near to the car park. It offers swings, a climbing frame and a climbing net in a lovely woodland location.
