However, cars already in the car park will still be able to exit over the 'alligator teeth'. The park is still accessible at other times via the pedestrian access points.

Parking Access to the park is free. You can use the visitor's car park for just £1 for your whole visit (up to a full day). The parking charge helps fund park maintenance, improve the quality of the car park and increase the number of parking spaces for visitors. If you are a regular visitor, you may like an annual season ticket (parking pass). To purchase one, apply online on the Broxtowe Borough Council website.
