Car park closures
We manage over 130 car parks across the New Forest providing access to a wide range of locations to enjoy. With only around 10% of our core funding coming from government we need to raise the majority of funds to look after car parks, trails and all of the work we do, ourselves.
Bad weather and prolonged periods of rain throughout the year have increased damage and erosion to car park surfaces. We are also trying to cope with large increases in the costs of materials needed for repairs.
This unfortunately means we will have to close some car parks if they become unusable and keep them shut for longer as we work through the list of repairs.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.
Latest closures:
- Ober Corner and Whitley Wood are closed to protect wildlife.
Ogdens and Osmond's Bushes car parks remain closed.
Please don't park on verges, along access tracks or in gateways, alternative car parks are available, thank you.
