Please Note
These accessibility ratings are intended as a guide only. The ability of each person to access the facilities will vary depending on the individual’s level of fi tness and mobility. Facilities may also change over time. Ratings are based on access for wheelchair users, as these are the people who generally have the most restricted mobility. However, people with other mobility impairments should also be able to use these ratings as a good guide to accessibility.
