The Friends of Cotgrave Country Park (FoCCP) is a community volunteer group that supports Nottingham County Council (NCC) in the management of the Park.

Usually we meet every 6 weeks at 7pm on Tuesdays in the Cotgrave Futures Building.  Currently we are meeting on Zoom.  All are welcome to join us.

Volunteer Task Days

Volunteers meet to help with maintenance and conservation work in the park, under the guidance of NCC staff. 

They meet in the Car Park at Hollygate Lane at 10am on pre-arranged task days, stay for as long as you want or until around 3pm.

No experience required and jobs can be suited to your skills and abilities. NCC staff provide equipment, training & refreshments.

Volunteer Wardens

Our Wardens are in the park on a regular basis.  Say hello, they love to chat!

Wardens report back to NCC and the FoCCP on maintenance issues and wildlife sightings, and give feeback from park users.
