Whats on offer:
- Flat terrain (concord park)
- woodland (woolley woods)
- sport centre (concord park)
- open fields (concord park)
Concord Park is located between Shiregreen and Wincobank. For parking there are two options, the top car park on Shiregreen Lane (S56 AE) gives you access to the sports centre and the courts, as well as the top of Concord Park. However, if you're wanting to visit Woolley Woods, you are best parking at the bottom end, at the entrance of Woolley Woods on Concord Road (S5 OTT). This car park is free and is open all the time. Do be aware that we have seen a burnt out car in this car park, at night. However, we have parked here on numerous occasions during the day and evening, without any problems ourselves.
Woolley Woods entrance is at the bottom of Concord Park, next to the golf course. This woods is on a hill so however far you walk down, have in mind you have to walk back up it. Because it is next to a golf course, a lot of the paths lead on to the grass course itself and can get quite confusing, especially when you're trying not to let your dog venture onto it. We took the steps down all the way to the bottom, walked along the path, and then walked back. All the hills can get confusing, the last thing you want is to walk up a steep hill and have to walk back down it after finding out its a dead end(golf course), talking from experience. The stairs are quite steep so if you tire easily or have problems walking, it may be best to miss out these woods.
Concord Park is huge and consists of a lot of open fields towards the bottom, this is great for letting your dog run around freely and play fetch without getting in anyone else's way. There is a path that goes all the way around the park, so if you're not bothered about the field its still a decent length walk. The top of the car park has tennis courts
