Fox Covert

Local Nature Reserve on West Park. Worth a visit if you like nature

This " Nature reserve" runs along side west park and I used to walk through with the dog regularly years ago. I think I once saw a fox in here and also on one occasion a pigeon. more than anything it's just a breeding place for rats and for people to walk their pitbulls off the lead.

Nice and clean, well I thought so to start with but then the football team finished and left a lot of empty plastic bottles in the middle of the football pitch, very disappointing.

Nice walk, unfortunately some paths are not praticable due to lack of manteinance.

West Park including fox covert is a nice well kept park in long eaton ,the groundsmen do a good job ,and there are toilets in the park at the cafe .
The little footbridge at the cafe is currently shut awaiting repair ,which seems to be taking a while .

Lovely park for the dogs and children

Lots of broken decking. Very overgrown with nettles,so not disabled friendly. No wheelchair access. No map to show routes. Only usable for fully abled folk.

Maintenance required - lots of broken wooden decking paths.
Nice for kids - but also dodgy at the same time.
You can meet some suspicious fellas over there doing .... hmmmm WHO KNOWS :)
