About

Graves Park ward lies in the southern part of the city, centred around its expansive namesake green space. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing from different eras, including inter-war semis and more modern developments. The local economy is supported by several neighbourhood shopping parades along Chesterfield Road and Derbyshire Lane, providing essential services and independent businesses for the community.

This agricultural facility, with its livestock and paddocks, offers a distinct rural character within the urban boundary. The park's sports pitches, playgrounds, and the Norton Nurseries garden centre are key local amenities for recreation and leisure.
