Free country park parking with accessible bays, boardwalk access, and scenic trails at Rabbit Ings.
Rabbit Ings Country Park Car Park serves the popular Rabbit Ings Country Park nature reserve, offering 75 gravel-surfaced bays with stone aggregate finish. Two accessible bays are located nearest to the visitor information kiosk, featuring smooth concrete surfacing to facilitate wheelchair access. There is no parking charge, but visitors are asked to display a free permit available from the on-site ranger office. LED solar-powered bollard lights illuminate key pedestrian routes from dusk until midnight, while two CCTV cameras monitor the car park entrance. The site features a wooden pedestrian boardwalk leading from the lot to the banks of the River Don, providing immediate access to walking trails, bird hides, and picnic areas. Seasonal maintenance includes gravel regrading bi-annually, litter clearance weekly, and vegetation management around the perimeter to maintain clear sightlines for wildlife observation.
