Eastwoodhill Arboretum

Mobility Access

Eastwoodhill Arboretum caters for all levels of fitness and mobility, both young and the young at heart.

Due to the terrain at Eastwoodhill Arboretum some tracks are unsuitable for all. A limited mobility trail is signposted around the Homestead Garden and arboretum. This trail has been designed to allow access to the more level areas of the arboretum, keeping in mind the needs of individual visitors.

To assist visitors with restricted mobility, the arboretum offers the following services:

Mobility scooter

Available at the Visitor Centre free of charge and kindly funded by the Esme and Tom Tombleson Trust.

The scooter is maneuvered with easy grip handles. Only one lever for ease of operation to go forward or go backwards. When the handle is released the scooter stops.

Visitor Centre staff will explain and demonstrate use of the mobility scooter to assist with confidence and ease of use for each individual visitor. We call this our EASY PEASY SCOOTER!

Strictly for use on the mobility sign posted track only.

Wheelchair

Available at the Visitor Centre - free of charge.

Strictly for use on the mobility sign posted track only.

Four wheel drive chariot vehicle

Highly recommended for senior citizen groups, visitors with restricted mobility and those on a tight schedule. The ‘chariot' is able to seat up to 10 people comfortably. See Guided Tours page for details.
