Nottingham’s oldest park, opened by the Victorians on 11th May 1852 by the Mayor and the Sheriff of the Borough in front of 30,000 people. It’s a relaxing and calm place to wander around, and the wide diversity of design and features make it feel even bigger than it really is. There is also a fantastic little cafe by Waverley Street entrance. If you found my review or photos interesting please leave a quick thumbs up 👍 Thank you!

A very small but nice park. The parrots are a really cute and the bell tower is very photogenic. It's a bit lifeless and depressing during winter bit very nice in spring and summer. Great for dog walks and picnics

Great place to go for a walk and enjoy some peaceful time in the nature. Quiet environment with a lake at the front and we can feed the ducks. The park was maintained well. It also has a cafe.

Great place for a lovely morning stroll and a breathe of fresh air. Away from the hustle bustle of the city centre with greenery and sounds of birds chirping. If there were a few more coffee shops around the place it would be beneficial as there is only one shop and it gets quite busy during the mornings.

Lovely park to enjoy nature, have a picnic or a walk. There’s a beautiful lake with lots of wildlife around (ducks and squirrels mostly) and a variety of types of trees. It does get locked depending on the season so make sure to check the opening times so you avoid getting locked in!

Beautiful park. You can spend a very nice time. It is located in the city center which is really good . You can come with the whole family and relax.

A beautiful well-kept park just off NTU campus (a few minutes walk from Old Market Square). It’s home to about 800 trees of various species, some of which were planted in the 19th century. A stone’s throw from the main gate, there is a pond full of cute ducks and their ducklings. I do enjoy sitting on the wooden bench facing the pond and gaze at them as they dabble, dive, bob and quack. I’d also share some nuts with the lovely squirrels darting here and there. Such a pleasure.

A well kept relaxing park with a beautiful lake. Lots to do and see for all ages. This park is very peaceful with stunning trees. The park is very clean with plenty of seating. A nice cafe too for snacks and coffee ☕️

Visited early in the morning, lovely park, well manicured, dew on the ground, sun shining through trees, dog walkers in good attendance. Surprised to see a small aviary there, but the birds looked very happy. The exhibit that caught my eye was the Chinese Bell Tower, the bell being bought to the UK during the Opium wars, my word we took so much plunder from almost every corner of the word, but you can't turn back the clock !

This is such a big peaceful area to visit. The sound of the trees when the wind blows,is such a refreshing sound. The colourful flowers make this place is a relaxing place to be. This is such a nice place to have picnics especially during summer time.There are a number of bins and the park is well maintained. It is important to point out that there is a pond with some ducks and there is a restriction of not feeding these ducks. We love to visit this place as its easily accessible with nearby tram stop and also it is wheelchair accessible.

This park is so beautiful, I think the City Council should look after this park more. Light up this park with more flowers. It will be great and amazing if more events happen here.

Beautiful place for evening walk or a picnic with your loved ones. Full of greenery and calm environment. Not much crowded on the day I visited.

A nice park with a little lake and an Aviary. Some interesting historical statues or memorials too.

Relaxing and peaceful. This is a great place to go when you want to be at ease and be with nature.

Prettiest place especially at this time of the year (early April) - you can catch the lovely cherry blossoms dotted around the park. There are so many friendly squirrels too. We had to choose between Aborteum and Highfield Park for the afternoon and I’m so glad we chose this. It only takes around 30 mins to walk around the whole park. Perfect place to take a quick break since there’s plenty of benches too.

Very nice arboretum. I went for the first time, as I wanted to check out the Green Festival on 12th Sep 2021, which was there. The festival was fantastic! Loads of food and craft stalls. Plus, we got to look around the arboretum. Shame it doesn't have parking and more seats/benches.

Just a really nice and relaxing park, very well kept and everything a park like this should be. It helped that the Sun was shining but in general it was great and the concert that was on gave another dimension to the park and proves that it can handle big events well too.

I took my 5 year old daughter here to take a look at the Arboretum. This place didn't seem interesting to her. She was more interested in knowing what the crow was and the yellow roses. We trekked our way to the Chinese Bell Tower and took a look at it for a minute or two. It's a bit of a walk for her. Especially up some hills. She became tired quite fast.

Went to the Foolhardy folk festival. Prior to the festival, I walked the park area (pokemon go routes), nice park with some fantastic features.

Nice place to have a walk. Just be careful not to step on wet leaves.

Beautiful little park with a few relics of Nottingham. Peaceful walk with my friends. We enjoyed researching the landmarks as we walked around. Feargus o Connor statue, Chinese bell tower, flower garden and there was a parrot sanctuary.
