Lenton Abbey Park is highly visible from the surrounding roads because of its eye-catching flowerbeds which have become one of the park's most recognisable features. Covering an area of approximately two hectares, this site combines its prominent row of trees and herbaceous borders with excellent facilities which include bowls, tennis, a multi-use games area, informal football pitch and a children's play area. There are toilets and baby changing facilities available in the pavilion and families can enjoy the woodland trail all year round.

Park History

Lenton 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.
