Erewash Borough Council undertakes a number of functions in the management and maintenance of parks and open spaces including the enhancement of all parks, open spaces, trees, allotments and cemeteries, nature reserves, informal flower areas and closed church yards. The Council also operates areas of recreational interest including play areas, football pitches, pavilions and outdoor tennis courts.

We look after over 260 hectares (650 acres) of parks and open spaces across the District. Totalling 101, these range from large urban parks, playing fields and play areas to local nature reserves, which provide important habitats for a wide range of wildlife.

To report acts of vandalism or criminal damage on parks or open spaces use the following link or contact Derbyshire Police or call 0845 123 3333:
