A lovely green space just a stones throw from West Bridgford town centre. A play park for the children, a café, lots of seating and plenty of green space surrounded by some spectacular trees.

Stopped off at West Bridgford on a long coach journey and spent some time in this lovely little park. It was once the garden of a stately home (Bridgford Hall still stands near the park entrance and is now a hotel and wedding venue). The park looked very tidy and well kept. A great place to bring young children, plenty of grassy space for them to run about in, and a well equipped playground. Dog friendly. There's a fitness trail, tennis courts and plenty of seating. Enjoyed the woodland paths and following the clearly marked tree trail. There's a car park at the back of the park, and a nice little café and toilets near the entrance. Bought a sandwich and a drink and enjoyed a pleasant picnic on one of the benches. The ideal place to spend my lunch break!

Beautiful gardens and even better wildlife wooded areas. Plus little ones get a playground. We'll worth a visit - loads of places nearby for a takeaway cuppa to take with you whilst you take a leisurely stroll, or sit on one of the benches and take in the surroundings.

Nice park to walk around, sport, sit and read book play with kids in play area or even just lay down on grass and relax. Clean, well maintained park. A lot to see and discover around. There are Library, register services, shops, coffees and parking around the park.
