We have sadly taken the decision to close Betteshanger Country Park to help restrict the spread of coronavirus and to continue to keep our staff safe.
This was a very difficult decision as we know how important access to space and fresh air is for everyone.
But given the level of risk and the potential for infection, we have concluded we have no option but to close with immediate effect.
We will, of course, continue to monitor the situation, and guidance issued by Public Health England and will update in due course, if the position changes.
In the meantime, please stay safe and we look forward to welcoming you back to Betteshanger Country Park as soon as we can.
Latest statement on coronavirus (COVID-19)
Our intention at this moment in time is to keep Betteshanger Country Park open to the public, but with a number of steps taken to comply with government social distancing advice. These include:
▪️Closing the playground area with immediate effect
▪️Halting our bike hire service
We would ask all visitors to our wonderful park to be sensible and take heed of official guidance by using our hand sanitisers and keeping their distance (at least 2 metres apart) from other people, to reduce the risk of infection from Covid-19.
Our desire is to keep Betteshanger Country Park open for as long as we are able to given how important it is for the wellbeing of people in the locality to have access to space and fresh air in the coming weeks and months.
That said, we will continue to monitor the situation, including adopting any further guidance issued by Public Health England and will update further, in due course, if the position changes.
