About Louise_Herschel
Hey! Just me and my gorgeous pooch Herschel the dalmatian. I adopted Herschel in 2021, he'd not long turned 3. My life long dream to own a dalmatian! I've gone from being an introverted, housebound (through choice) person to this outgoing, outdoorsy person. Because of Herschel! I'd love to share my walks & experiences to help others enjoy what we have!

Broxtowe Country park, Nottinghamshire

Our Local Park!
Our local park so we're here most days. There is a a main field and a wooded area. There is a little bike track and a basket ball court. Like others have said, there is no designated parking. If you google maps the mornington crescent estate, it'll be close proximity to the park for you to choose to park. Kew Gardens is near a gate to the wooded area and there's quite a lot of on road parking available on or around there. There is a natural spring in the park which is safe for the dogs to drink etc. What let's the park down is the fly tipping and the general maintenance. Sadly near a great estate and a few not so great estates. The councils are not quick to tidy stuff up and often argue over who's in charge of it.. its Nottingham - not Broxtowe FYI! There is a group of people who walk there in the mornings on the weekend. Great group of people and friendly dogs/puppies. If you ever want to go, they're normally there from 8am onwards (on the main field)
Great walk!
The park is actually attached to the Golf Course. There's parking at the entrance which looks like a massive football field, if you carry on driving down the lane, there will be a few more parking bays on the left with 2x wooded areas surrounding. Carry on to the top of the lane and there's a relatively big parking area. It can get busy depending on golfing or football tournaments. There are some actual football fields which are used. There is a pond or 2 for the fishermen and loads of little trails around it. Signage somewhat tells you where you're off too. The main massive field was a landing strip so it's massive. I've walked the whole way round it with my dog and was able to have an encounter free walk but could see plenty of people at the same time. The wooded area has a stream running through it, with a main water area near the main field. There is a cafe near the parking area mentioned above. Plenty of tables outdoors and indoors - you can't take the dog into the cafe to order. I've been here a lot and been all round different the different routes. I've never encountered any thefts or anything previously reviewed. The only downside is that there are very few bins the further into the park you get. Some of the wooded area is very rooty so if you're wheelchair bound or difficulties walking, I'd recommend that you research the route to avoid disappointment.
