Breathing Space Strategy
Open and green spaces are essential to the quality of life for residents, workers and visitors in Nottingham. The 'Breathing Space' strategy has been developed by Nottingham City Council Parks and Opens Spaces Team to ensure a strategic approach to future planning, development and management of these spaces.
Nottingham City has a historic network of open and green spaces whose legacy dates from the 18 century. Despite the City's tight urban boundary, over one fifth (20%) of the City's total land area is made up of accessible open and green spaces. Thus providing opportunities for recreation and enjoyment as well as contributing to the quality of the environment.
The majority of theses spaces are public parks, natural spaces, green corridors, allotments, cemeteries and sports grounds. With the exception of a few large sites, Wollaton Hall, Colwick Country Park and Bulwell Hall, the vast majority of these sites tend to be small (mainly less than 0.5 hectares in size, about the same size as a football pitch)
