Year-round parking at Moors Valley Country Park is currently included in the £96 Forestry England membership, but this is under review by Dorset Council, which manages the park. Concerns have arisen that removing this benefit will make access unaffordable for families, particularly affecting local youth groups like Scouts. Parking costs are significant—£10.20 on weekdays and £15 on weekends. Community members fear these changes will limit outdoor experiences for children. While Dorset Council values parking income for facility management, the decision on membership inclusion is pending, with potential impacts on accessibility for families being considered as a priority.
