Opening and closing times

Opening hours of parks, open spaces, playing fields and children's playgrounds

Except where otherwise stated, our parks are open each day all year round. We aim to open locked sites by 9.00am each day, and commence closing 30 minutes before sunset. Because unstaffed parks are locked by teams travelling from park to park, unstaffed sites can be closed up to 1 hour after the indicated closing time.

Some sports areas (such as tennis courts) are only open for prebooked activities, so please call us to check availability and make reservations.

Toilets are only open when staff are present on site for security reasons.

Parks and playgrounds that are normally locked at night will be left open from Christmas Eve until the first normal working day after New Year.
