We are pleased to say that the park has been cleaned and is now back open. Thank you your patience, illegal encampments can be incredibly difficult matters, we used every legal option available to use to remove the occupiers as quickly as possible. While we do look at security options, it's very difficult to completely stop access to a site of this size.
We are continually looking at ways to reduce illegal encampments from happening and we will monitor the situation across the borough, over the next few weeks. Thanks, Parks and Street Care Team at Gedling Borough Council.

A notice of eviction has been served on the illegal encampment at the park and the occupiers have 24 hours to leave the site. The park will be closed as we carry out a full inspection and clean up of the site. We will aim to reopen the park as soon as possible.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your support as we work to restore the park for the whole community.

Have you seen the latest addition to the park 🎨?
The new mural was painted by the Handmade Theatre Company, The Friends of Burton Road Park and young people from the Loco Youth Centre, Netherfield.
The design represents day and night, the four seasons, and has a huge clock face as the centre feature, surrounded by silhouettes of park users.
A huge thank you to everyone involved, we love it😍!
