The Lothian Gardens - Opening Times: Summer 8am-8pm and
Winter 8am-dusk
Melbourne Parish Council has full responsibility for the maintenance of the award winning
Lothian Gardens, which incorporate three play areas for children of different age groups.
The Lothian Gardens were created as a Millennium Project on land donated to the Melbourne
Millennium Trust by Lord and Lady Ralph Kerr and The Melbourne Trust. Over £120,000 was raised
from local people and businesses, together with charitable donations.
Approximately half of the money came from the Derbyshire Environmental Trust under the
Landfill Tax Credit Scheme. The whole project was managed by Groundwork Erewash Valley.
Recreation Ground, Cockshut Lane
DE73 8DJ
Melbourne Parish Council has a watching brief to maintain the pavilion and ground - as a Sports Ground for clubs,
and as a Recreation Ground for the Public.
The committee is currently looking at ways of increasing and improving facilities and providing
new children's equipment.
