There are toilets and baby changing facilities available in the pavilion and families can enjoy the woodland trail all year round. Return to top of the page
Park HistoryLenton Abbey Park forms part of the legacy of urban parks established across Nottingham in the 19th and 20th centuries. Surrounded on all sides by brick walls and railings and set amongst a mixture of residential, religious and academic buildings, the park was deliberately created to provide a much needed green space in the most heavily built-up and deprived areas of the city.Today the site continues to form a significant component within the local urban fabric and is adjacent to Nottingham University campus and the surrounding residential area of Lenton.
