About Sinfin Moor Park
Sinfin Moor Park combines a well-equipped children's play area with a local nature reserve on the southern edge of Derby. The large play area has facilities for a wide range of ages, from toddlers to teenagers, and sits alongside a BMX park for older children and wheeled-sports fans. The surrounding nature reserve is a wildlife haven, with an extensive mix of habitats including scrub, grassland, woodland and ponds that attract a variety of wildlife, so a visit can easily combine active play with a nature walk along the park's footpaths. The park has earned a Green Flag Community Award, reflecting the work of the council and the local Friends group who help look after and improve the site. The Pavilion Cafe opens every Saturday from 10:30am to 2pm, with proceeds going back into park improvements. There is a free car park at the park, along with toilets and disabled access, making it a practical choice for a family day out in the Sinfin area.
