I worked at Maymont for a time this year, doing their best to ensure accessibility for their light show was important, I feel they really try. Accessibility in the park in general is a constant struggle for them.

I think a lot of visitors really don't grasp how big and hilly the property is, they bring the young and old who just can't enjoy the place to its full extent. It's nobody's fault really, people should just consider a visit to Maymont on par with a light to moderate hike.

I gather they used to have trolleys or trains or carriages or whatever and they went out of style or demand fell or something. In my visits over the last 15 years, I've never seen an in-park transport method like that, save for special events. I think a recent article said they had transport driver positions that were ended during the pandemic and weren't rehired.
