Unfortunately, our ranger team arrived this morning to discover that a number of recently planted trees had been snapped and damaged, along with damage to other areas and facilities within the park.

We would like to thank those who have come forward with information. All relevant details have been passed on to Nottinghamshire Police.

We encourage anyone witnessing anti-social behaviour or vandalism within the park to report it to the police via 101, or 999 in an emergency.

Thank you for helping us look after Colwick Country Park.

🚧 Daleside Road Car Park – Temporary Closure 🚧

As of this week, Daleside Road Car Park at Colwick Country Park has been temporarily closed to allow our ranger team to undertake essential winter improvement works.

These works will include:

* 🌳 Cutting back overgrown and encroaching vegetation.
* 🚜 Levelling the gravel surface and addressing large potholes.
* 🧹 Clearing accumulated litter and fly-tipped waste.
* 🌿 Improving the overall safety, accessibility and appearance of the car park.

Unfortunately, this car park has experienced ongoing issues with fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour. The temporary closure provides an opportunity to address these concerns and make the area safer, more welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.

📅 When will it reopen?

We don’t currently have a confirmed reopening date, but we aim to provide a further update in the New Year as works progress.

🚗 Alternative Parking

Colwick Country Park remains open as usual, with parking available at:

- River Road Car Park – Near the main entrance and kiosk (limited spaces).
- Racecourse Road and Racecourse Road Car Park. Ample parking available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while our team carries out these improvements. We look forward to reopening a much-improved car park as soon as possible.

🎣 For Sunday only, fishing tickets can be purchased on the bank directly from the ranger, who will have a card payment machine available.

Thanks for your understanding and enjoy your visit! 😊

⚠️ Weather Warning – Strong Winds Expected Tomorrow, Friday 23rd October ⚠️

Strong winds, reaching gale force at times, are forecast across Nottingham for most of tomorrow as Storm Austen passes through.

Please take care if you’re visiting our parks and green spaces, and be aware that conditions may be hazardous, particularly around trees and woodland areas.

We advise visitors to take extra care, especially as winds can cause branches to fall. Your safety is important to us – if you do visit:

• Be mindful of your surroundings
• Keep a safe distance from trees and woodland areas

If the weather becomes particularly severe, please consider postponing your visit until conditions improve.

Stay safe and thank you for helping keep Nottingham’s parks safe for everyone. 💚

We're super excited for the return of Autumn next week! 🍂

What's your favourite thing about the cooler months? Leaves turns, crisp mornings, Strictly on a Saturday night? 👇Let us know in the comments.

Ours is spotting the birds that migrate to our little City for the Winter. Wading birds are the easiest to see, try looking for those at Highfields Park, Country Park, and our friends over at Wollaton Park.

‼️ BLUE-GREEN ALGAE UPDATE ‼️

Blue-green algae has now been confirmed in West Lake, as well as the Old Trout Lake.

Blue-green algae can produce harmful toxins which can pose a risk to people and animals.

Please do not enter the water, keep dogs out of the lakes, and follow the warning signage around the park.
