Park History

* Lenton's 'village green' was Nottingham's first ever purposely laid-out recreation ground and was opened in 1887 and since then it has remained a well used community facility.

Described in 1926 by the author Mellors as 'the nearest approach to a village green we have', Lenton Recreation Ground has provided several different generations of local children with an attractive and safe location in which to play.

After a period of decline, the park is now enjoying a renaissance and once again fulfilling its function as the neighbourhood's own village green. Its two bowling greens remain well used by three clubs and a new children's play area erected in 2005 is a firm favourite!

Site Management

The development of the park is guided by the Consultation Group of the Dunkirk and Lenton Partnership Forum and Nottingham City Council. Since the award of the Green Flag in 2005, the park has continued to improve with the award of a further Neighbourhood Renewal Funding for its new basketball area. Efforts are also underway to replace the tired and worn out shrub beds.
