Accessibility
The current location of archway has a lot of grass to get through before you reach the path
Limitations would be:
- No accessible parking spot close to site (from what I can see on Google maps).
- The only ramp up onto the grass is at the very end of the car park, meaning you have to walk a long way on a road.
- The accessible parking is on the other side of Marine Drive, meaning you would have to cross a main road to get to site.
