Robert Henry Allen, the owner of the Polam Hill estate immediately to the south of the park, complained to the Trust about a stile that had been installed, giving access to his land. He demanded that it be removed.

It was complained that the access path from Grange Road was too narrow and it was therefore widened after a further small strip of land was bought xv. It was also intended that an access be made on the north side to the Bank Top area xvi. This does not seem to have been carried out.
