The disabled parking bays are along the Fordh-and-Bal road which is the road on the left before the main car park turning if you are coming from the A30, and the one immediately after the car park if you are coming from Tesco Pool Extra way.  Follow the road along next to the Great Lawn and discover parking just after where the road bends round the the left.  The parking is on the right hand side next to the wooden building (toilet block).  Disabled parking is free and on a first come first served basis.
