Accessibility Statement for Oakfield Park
Oakfield Park is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure inclusivity.
We are delighted to share that the Oakfield Park website has undergone a full accessibility review and optimisation. Following significant updates across the site, we have achieved a 100% accessibility score on all core pages (excluding the specific pages listed below).
Our goal is to ensure that all visitors — including those using assistive technologies — can navigate, understand, and interact with our content effectively and comfortably.
Conformance Status
This website aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. These standards explain how to make digital content more accessible for people with disabilities, and more user-friendly for everyone.
Most of the website now fully meets these guidelines. Some pages contain third-party features or plugin-controlled components that limit full conformance; these are listed below.
Pages with Known Accessibility Limitations
Some pages include third-party widgets or plugin-restricted components that cannot be modified at this time. These limitations are:
1. Seasonal Event Pages
Pumpkin
These pages use an external calendar widget that introduces accessibility issues we cannot alter. As a result, these pages do not achieve full accessibility scores.
2. WooCommerce Product Page
Oakfield Park Gold Pass 2026
The button variation behaviour is controlled entirely by the WooCommerce plugin, limiting our ability to modify its accessibility structure.
3. Designated Walks Page
Designated Walks
This page has a small number of remaining colour contrast issues that differ from other updated site pages.
4. Shop Page
Shop
This page is generated directly by WooCommerce and cannot be edited to adjust its accessibility markup.
5. Interactive Map Page
Maps
This page uses a map widget that is not fully accessible. The current accessibility score is 89% due to limitations within the third-party embed.
We are actively monitoring third-party updates and will improve these pages as soon as the relevant providers introduce more accessible versions.
