Highfields Park

‼️❄️ Cold Weather Reminder ❄️‼️

With the chilly temperatures, some lakes and ponds in our parks are frozen. While they can seem tempting, please don’t walk, skate, or let children or dogs go onto the ice.

Ice is often thinner than it appears and can be very dangerous if it gives way. Falling into icy water can cause cold water shock, and any rescue attempts can put others at risk.

Please remember:

❄️ Keep well back from frozen lakes and ponds
Supervise children closely

🐶 Keep dogs on leads near the water

🚨If someone or a pet gets into trouble, call 999 and ask for the Fire & Rescue Service

If you’re heading out to enjoy Nottingham’s green spaces today, wrap up warm, take care, and help us keep everyone safe.

🌿 Stay safe and enjoy our parks 🌿
