Rise Park Estate, 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 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. In imaginative estate agents terms - a "Rise Park - a much sought after location".

Rise Park 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 all within easy reach - as are the modern Ken Martin Leisure and Glaisdale Centres.

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! For the purpose of Nottingham City Council elections Rise Park falls within Bulwell Forest Ward.

There are also 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.

The site contains around 480 photographs spread over 61 pages.

A number of these photos have been published in the Nottingham Evening Post, and these 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 June 2009.
See Published photos page for a link to their gallery
