Local parks

Trees on Cathedral Green

There are over 300 parks and open spaces across Derby, covering almost 700 hectares of land. 

There is something for everyone in Derby's parks, from play areas and skate parks, to nature reserves and a butterfly garden. Our parks are a great place to get healthy: they are open to everyone and are free to use. Stay active by taking a walk, playing football or golf, or using our free outdoor gyms which are called 'adiZones'.

We also have lots of events taking place on our parks and open spaces throughout the year - have a look at our events programme for more information.
