Harrogate Borough Council supported by Claro Orienteering Club has provided three permanent orienteering courses found at Valley Gardens, Pinewoods and Birk Crag. These courses have been planned as short (at the top end of Valley Gardens), middle (stretching through the Pinewoods) and long (for more experienced orienteerers at Birk Crag).
Map packs are available all year round from the Tourist Information Office and throughout the summer season, the Games in Parks Hut in Valley Gardens.
