As part of the Heritage Lottery Fund restoration, North Lodge has been refurbished and extended.

It now consists of offices for Leisure Services staff (park Development Officer and a Park Ranger), a café and new public toilets (open during café opening times).

Its close proximity to the toddler play area provides essential facilities for parents, etc.

The café, which is operated by Fredericks of Chesterfield, is open all year round, in the summer 9am to 6pm and in the winter 9am to 4pm.
