Highfields Park

New favourite Park. Can easily spend a full day here. Foot golf, mini golf, boats and play park. Cafe is a bit small but if there weather is nice it's a good spot for a pic nic

I must have driven past this place a gazillion times and always wanted to visit. 💯 worth it.
The Sun, like in all cases, made it look even better!!!
We got to one of the entrances seeking to find car parking. We were told there were 3 car parks. The representative at the desk directed us to a FREE car park for guests, otherwise you’d have to pay. The Perfect Car Park outside the Arts Building leading you on to the walk around the lake. A beautiful, well maintained area. There is also a provision for ‘crazy golf’ and also boating on the lake. (£5 per person for an hour). A very picturesque place to go boating. I would recommend this over Matlock due to the views and the size of the Lake. There is also a waterfall at the end of the lake which is a perfect spot for a family picture or a quick selfie 🤳🏽.
The grounds make you realise how big the University is, as some of the campus buildings are built around the lake. Absolutely stunning buildings.
A highly recommend place for families, couples, friends and a picnic.

Beautiful park - came from Derby (but we didn’t shout that around) for the first time.

Was fairly busy due to the weather and bank holiday but we loved it, played foot golf and crazy golf, then an ice cream before playing on the large play park!

We’ll definitely be back :)

This is a very large park. My wife thought this place was wonderful. My 5 year old daughter didn't think this place was very great. We walked around the park and ended up back at the tram stop. There are many Canada Geese here as well. Seems we're not the only Canadians visiting the park currently.

A good mix of activities to do at the park with options for all ages. Easy to get to with good off-street parking, bus routes and a tram stop meaning accessibility will never be an issue. Serene water gardens at one end and a mini golf course at the other which make for a great family day out. Great for evening walks/cycle ride with the breeze from the lake or boating which is always something to look forward to. Would highly recommend a photo with the two Chinese stone lions next to the lake.

Amazing & beautiful!!
Free parking, beautiful landscape, waterfalls & park for children to play.
The boats are so fun! I would highly recommend a picnic & day out on the boats or a game of crazy golf.
Lovely little café for drinks & food..
Such a well kept, clean & beautiful park with lots of history & historic building!

The clock tower is visible from my bedroom and I can walk to this place in 5 minutes. Been here hundreds of times and know it well. It's very close to Beeston, but classed as being in the Nottingham city boundary. Another typical English style garden landscape with a lake that looks like 2, a few small bridges, small woodlands and spinneys, streams, a Japanese style garden with a rock pools and small artificial waterfall, lots of trees and wildlife, even some caves and small cliffs. You can rent a boat out on the lake. Quite hilly in places and a good place to sledge when snowing. A kids park at the top end with parking, toilets and a cafe. A good family day out that costs nothing to visit, with good footpaths that are suitable for the elderly and disabled. The tram stops just outside 2 gates, for those who don't have a car. There is also a good cycle track that goes along the whole length of the park on the road side. The transport links around Nottingham and Beeston are very good for locals, visitors and tourists. The Nottingham Tennis Centre is right opposite this place on the other side of the road which the tram also goes past.

A nice park based around a large boating lake. It was very busy at the car park end. There is a children’s play area and mini golf, toilets, café, ice cream van etc. Boats to hire were very popular today. Good place to go for a picnic or just for a walk around. There were a lot of families there. The parking is quite small for the amount of people visiting and I can guarantee there will probably be some reversing going on. We were lucky and someone left as we arrived.
