Almost it impossible to follow the walking trail as no map and no directions.
Would appear that sole purpose of forest is to accommodate dogs to use as toilet and run about out of control.

Would have been lovely in the forest other than the huge amount of dog faeces around the paths close to the parking areas - disgusting and a real hazard for young children.
