Rise Park Nottingham

Welcome to 'Rise Park Nottingham' - an extensive collection of photos & information about Rise Park Estate and many local parks and spaces within easy reach

Rise Park Estate, Nottingham NG5 lies on the northern edge of the City of Nottingham, and is within a few minutes of very easy access to Junction 26 and Junction 27 of the M1 Motorway. It is in attractive surroundings, bounded on one side by the 450 acre Bestwood Country Park and on another by Bulwell Common and its golf course. In imaginative estate agents terms - a "much sought after location".

It is a relatively modern housing estate of approximately 1450 homes, completed during the1960's, comprised mainly of good quality three and four bed detached houses and bungalows, with a small number of low rise flats. There is a small shopping precinct on the estate (click picture for enlarged view) and Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi have stores nearby.

The shopping areas of Bulwell, Hucknall and Arnold are within easy reach - as is the modern Ken Martin Leisure Centre

This site contains some general information about Rise Park, and includes a Property Guide page to give some indication of advertised house prices
and the Council Tax levels on the estate – perhaps of interest to anyone thinking of moving in!

For the purpose of Nottingham City Council elections the estate is within Bulwell Forest Ward

There are now around 415 photographs spread over 56 pages & sub pages (All taken by the author unless otherwise stated)

A number of these photos have been published in the Nottingham Evening Post, and can be found on the 'Published Photos' page

The BBC are also displaying a small selection of photos relating to Bulwell Common on their own web site as at April 2008.
See Published photos page for a link to their gallery

A click on most of the thumbnail pictures will give an enlarged view. For a much more comprehensive selection of photos of buildings, parks and places within the City why not visit the City of Nottingham web site shown on the Web Links page?

There are now separate pages relating to the adjacent Bestwood Country Park and Mill Lakes - and other nearby parks and spaces such as:- Bulwell Forest, Common & Golf Course Bulwell Hall Park Vernon Park Arnot Hill Woodthorpe Grange River Leen & Bulwell Local Nature Reserves		Recent additions include places further afield, but all within easy reach by car or public transport and well worth a visit :- Wollaton Hall Deer Park & Martins Pond Highfields and Nottingham University Parks Nottingham Arboretum Bramcote Hills Park & the Hemlockstone Forest Recreation Ground & Rock Cemetery Nottingham City Centre Nottingham Castle River Trent and Victoria Embankment Papplewick Pumping Station Newstead Abbey Kings Mill Reservoir Jubilee Campus Nottingham University
Two New Features added in Feb 2008 - A Map of the Estate and Visitors / Guest Book and Bygones page Clicking on certain 'hotspots' of the map will show a picture of that location. But please note that this page is at an early stage at the moment and details are therefore limited. New pages for Papplewick Pumping Station and Newstead Abbey (ancestral home of Lord Byron) added early 2008
Following the recent loss of our local Kwiksave supermarket, Risepark is now sadly lacking a Food Store, Mini Market, Convenience Store, Pharmacy, Public House, Cafe or restaurant. An ideal opportunity for one of the other smaller chains to move in and fill this gap
Babbington Hall Dog Rescue - Donations and voluntary help welcome. See separate page for more information and link to their web site	Many of the parks and spaces featured on these pages have been explored whilst walking with my dog, Scamp, who manages to appear in some of the photos! A two times winner of the RSPCA 'Dog with the Waggiest Tail 'competition, Scamp is extremely friendly with people and other dogs & always appreciates a friendly pat on the back!
