Part 2: You will hear a park ranger giving information about a fitness route and explaining where key locations are on a map.
Good morning everyone, and welcome to Willowmere Park. My name is Jordan, and I’m one of the park rangers. Before you begin, I’m going to explain how the fitness route works and give you a few basic safety reminders. I’ll also describe where the key points are on the map so you can locate each station without confusion.
First, some general information. The route is open all day and it is free to use, so there is no need to book. If you prefer a quieter time, early morning is usually best. Also, if this is your first visit, it helps to follow the route in order. The stations are planned so you start gently, warm up properly, and only then move on to more demanding activities. One important safety note is the footbridge. Please slow down when you cross it, especially when the surface is damp, because it can be slippery.
Now I’ll guide you around. Start at the Main Entrance, with the car park on your right-hand side. Just beside the entrance there are two useful spots. The warm-up zone is on the right of the entrance, on the side nearest the car park, before you begin the loop. If you need information, the small help kiosk is on the left of the entrance.
When you set off, follow the loop clockwise. In other words, turn left from the entrance first and head towards the lake. On that left-hand side you will see the fountain, and the hydration point is positioned right next to it, so you can refill your water bottle there.
As you continue around, look towards the centre of the park. You will see the stream and the footbridge. The open grassy area beside the stream, close to the footbridge, is the stretching lawn. It is a good place to slow down and do longer stretches, especially after a run.
Keep following the loop up towards the top of the map, near the dog area. There is a rest stop with a bench there, which is a good place to pause if you want to catch your breath.
After that, continue around to the right-hand side. The balance steps are the station closest to the Community Garden, on the far right. Before you reach them, you will pass the sprint section. This is on the inside curve just to the right of the footbridge. It is a longer, smoother part of the path, so it is suitable for a short fast run.
Finally, keep going down towards the car park again. The pull-up bars are in the lower right section of the loop, close to the corner of the car park.
That’s everything. Please be considerate of other park users, and enjoy the route.
