BOSSES at Ford Park in Ulverston have closed the car park to deter walkers from travelling to the area.
Park bosses announced the closure on Twitter in response to concerns from police that walkers are travelling distances to access local beauty spots.
The park said on Twitter: "Ford Park car park is currently closed to discourage driving to the park and to support efforts to reduce the spread of coronavirus.
"The park remains open for fresh air and exercise as per government guidelines."
