Access to the wood is available directly from the surrounding urban roads via two entrances on the north-eastern boundary off Merry Hill Road and on the south-western boundary off Oxhey Lane.
Access can also be gained via a public footpath on the south-western boundary from Carpenters Park and from several points on the north-western boundary via Attenborough Fields.
A hard-surfaced path, the Greenway, connects the two northern entrances and is suitable for wheelchairs and buggies.
There are a series of other grassy paths throughout the gently undulating site, and some of these sections are seasonally muddy and become slippery when wet.
Wide kissing gates suitable for buggies are positioned at entrances and field boundaries, though small sections of steps and a couple of footbridges are also dotted around the site.
Benches around the site offer spectacular views across the countryside.
