For more greenery (as well as a lake), you can find Alvaston Park just outside the city, which also features a BMX track.

Berzerk Active Play Derby is a great place to take the kids if they’re getting restless indoors, with dedicated spaces for under 11s and under 5s that include ball pits, trampolines and more!
