I visited here with my kids, on a short city break to Nottingham, this is a lovely green space for kids to run around and explore. Lovely pond with ducks and statues to visit. There are also some geocaches in the park

It's just a park. Fine for a walk but certainly not a "hidden gem". Frequented by students during the day and drug addicts/homeless during the night. Nothing for children. I think the fact people have rated this as one of the top things to do in Nottingham just shows how dire things are there. Takes 10 minutes to walk the perimeter

We visited the arboretum to watch “Arboretum Sunsets” with Richard Thompson. Great way to see live music. Shame the toilets don’t exist ! Must make it very difficult for visitors who aren’t close by.

We had never been here before but what a lovely little place! We had a nice walk around and we were made particularly welcome at the cafe onsite. The service was amazing and the lady was so lovely and kind. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely recommend a trip here.

Our choice for our last morning on a short city break. We could see it was a lovely asset for the city. Beautifully maintained, very clean, and some interesting points of interest. Sadly we found the lack of information on the trees something of a disappointment.

What a real surprise! Jewel in the crown!
Visiting in early spring with Snowbells and very early blossom. Only a 10 minute walk from the main centre. Trees, scrubs and a pool with ducks ... middle of Nottingham. A delight in a brick and concrete world. A chill zone.

A walk through the Arboretum in lockdown is one of many places to visit, well maintained band stand block off but overall a pleasant place to visit, even in the rain like today.

Sunday afternoon stroll, hundreds of students, loads of disposable BBQs and a deeply unpleasant atmosphere. Don't know why I expected any different. .

Myself and the husband came here in the early evening on our first night in the city. It was a lovely place to walk...there are maps around the outside but the place isn't huge so it's easy to wander round the whole thing. there are a few sights of interest, such as the Chinese Bell, which were nice to see. A wonderful place for a walk.
