Welcome to Rise Park
This site gives 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!
The site contains
several hundred photographs spread over more than 60 pages, many in the form of slide
shows
Out and About
There are many pages of information about Parks and Open Spaces that are within easy reach of the estate by car or public transport.
Plus several pages relating to Nottingham , Nottingham Castle, the River Trent and other places of local interest.
This web site has been totally re designed for January 2010 and is still under test. Broadband will be required to view the photo’s and Flash player to view the slides. Instructions given on most of the appropriate pages. Please e mail me know if other problems are encountered
Rise Park Estate, lies on the northern edge of the City of Nottingham, and is within
a few minutes of very easy access to Junctions 26 and 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.
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
and Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi have stores nearby.
The shopping areas of Bulwell, Hucknall and Arnold are all within easy reach - as are the modern Ken Martin and GlaisdaleLeisure Centres.
For the purpose of Nottingham City Council elections Rise Park falls within Bulwell
Forest Ward.

and the bus terminus
Transport Links - Rise Park benefits from extremely good bus and tram links to the City Centre, and nearby shopping districts. Buses run from the estate at ten minute intervals for much of the day and the journey time is less than 30 minutes. A more direct, and even quicker, journey can be made by using the Trent / Barton service from the bottom of Bestwood Park Drive - also providing an “every ten minutes” service.
