A description: By car. At the traffic lights at the junction of Moss Bank Way (A58), Captains Clough Road and Moss Lane turn to Moss Lane, but do not follow Moss Lane which bends 90 degrees to the right, but keep straight on with the gatehouse & bowling Greens to the left and the main carpark to the right. Follow this lane passed the ornate water trough until you reach brick wall on your right with playing fields on your left, at the end of the wall turn right onto the park cafe carpark. This is the carpark next to the Wall Garden where we usually meet up.
It is the smallest of the three car parks, very occasionally if there is an event on at the cafe or the Hive the carpark maybe full so we have to managed by parking at the main carpark and walk from there.
Walking similar to the car directions except at the start of the brick wall go through the Wall Garden Gate and walk through the garden, up the steps to the terrace inside the carpark gate.
