Rise Park Nottingham, including local parks and nature reserves. Includes many photos

Photo of the Shopping precinct - June 2005	This site contains some general information about Rise Park Estate, 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 If you have any suggestions or comments about this web site, please join the other visitors who have already left feedback on the 'Visitor Book' page. It's easy to do, and your comment could help in improving the Site - or correcting any errors or omissions Or, if you prefer, you can send me an e - mail using the link on the 'Contact Me' 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
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 (Feb 2008), and details are therefore limited. Please also leave your views, suggestions or comments about the site by visiting the 'Add your comments' page New pages for Papplewick Pumping Station and Newstead Abbey added April 2008
There are now approx 340 photographs spread over 54 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 - but a Broadband Connection is recommended, as viewing may take time on a slower dial up connection. For a much more comprehensive selection of photos of buildings, parks and places within the wider area why not visit the City of Nottingham web site shown on the Web Links page? Please note: All photos on these pages remain copyright © Terry Brown and are not for use elsewhere unless by prior agreement, though I have no objection to downloading for personal & private use only

Notice : As it has become increasingly difficult to keep the "Community" pages up to date, I have reluctantly decided to discontinue these as from Sept 2007. The pages affected are Local Contacts, Police and Neighbourhood, News & Community Association (timetable of activities)
Following the recent loss of our local Kwiksave supermarket, the Estate 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. Are you interested Co-Op, Aldi or Lidl, or perhaps an enterprising individual? (Oct 2007)
