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.

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.


The Old Burial Ground

The medieval burial ground in Castle Street is maintained by Melbourne Parish Council. It closed in 1860 and contains a large number of attractive slate headstones, carved principally by the Dunnicliff family.
