Wollaton Park have issued a message to visitors ahead of the bank holiday weekend.
As with most three-day weekends, the team at the 500-acre park expects there to be more visitors than usual.
In order to keep on top of the maintenance, people are being asked to take their rubbish home with them, rather than overload the bins.
Staff have shared a picture showing a bin at Wollaton Park taped up, with notices to explain what people need to do to keep the park tidy for everyone.
Staff also want to remind people that barbecues are not permitted and to keep a safe distance from all deer, as well as social distancing from other visitors.
It comes after pictures emerged of a man hand-feeding a Red stag, which are known for being unpredictable and potentially dangerous.
Park staff issued a statement on the Facebook page, saying: "We love to look after Wollaton park, so that everyone can enjoy exercise and fresh air (with 2m social distancing!)
"As we head into bank holiday, we often see more visitors. We would like all visitors to help us keep the park tidy by taking rubbish home where you can.
"We're also reminding all customers that barbecues are not allowed in the park and to keep a safe distance from all deer, as many are in calving season."
Elsewhere, parks in Long Eaton and Ilkeston have also reopened some facilities but want to remind people about heading out over the weekend.
• The public toilets at West Park in Long Eaton and Trent Lock, Sawley.
• The tennis Courts at West Park, Long Eaton and Rutland Sports Park, Ilkeston.
• Multi-user game areas (Enclosed courts used for ball games).
• Skateparks.
• Fixed table tennis tables.
• Bowling Greens.
• Croquet at West Park, Long Eaton.
Councillor Mike Wallis, Lead Member for Culture and Leisure at Erewash Borough Council, says: “We would ask everyone who is visiting the council’s parks and open spaces to maintain social distancing, keeping at least two metres away from each other.
"Signs at the entrances to West Park, Victoria Park, Rutland Sports Park and Straws Bridge will remind people to stay safe and maintain social distancing.”
Derbyshire councils have also joined up to issue a message to people who may be thinking about heading to the Peak District.
A spokesman added: "Our message is clear – please respect our communities and please put off your visit until later in the year when Derbyshire will be fully open for business and will be able to welcome you properly.
"If visitors are coming to Derbyshire to exercise, then they need to be aware that public toilets are still expected to be closed and - like the rest of the country - pubs, restaurants and cafes are also closed.
"In many parts of Derbyshire, particularly rural villages, social distancing is difficult with large numbers of visitors.
"Matlock Bath was one village reporting large numbers of visitors last weekend, making social distancing extremely difficult.
"Derbyshire is a beautiful county and we understand people’s desire to visit, but a visit later in the year will help protect our local communities and give you the full Derbyshire experience. We look forward to welcoming you then."
