🌿 Family Adventure at Rushcliffe Country Park! 🚶♂️🌳 We spent the day exploring the beautiful trails of Rushcliffe Country Park—plenty of fresh air, open space, and a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. The boys loved the playground, and we all enjoyed a peaceful walk around the lake, spotting wildlife along the way. Moments like these remind us how great it is to slow down and enjoy the outdoors together. 📸✨ If you’re looking for a family-friendly spot to stretch your legs and breathe in some nature, this place is a gem! 💚 #FamilyDayOut #RushcliffeCountryPark #NatureLovers #OutdoorAdventures #MakingMemories

This is 'Ruddington Country Park' politically called 'Rushcliffe Country Park'. Rushcliffe is a Borough. The park is split by a railway track with a footbridge crossing. Pathways allow all weather walking and cycling yet puddles of rain water collect at times. The park is well visited by dog walkers exercising dogs. A dog agility area is available to train clever pets. The park has a flat surface type maze or labyrinth, walk this for contemplation. Hot drinks and snacks are sold from a mobile unit, coffee is somewhat tasteless, served by very friendly staff. Watch out for the opportunist Magpies that will snatch any food from the picnic benches. Unusual toilet units with vents are available if desperate. Dog policy is areas for dogs on leads and free go crazy run bark fetch balls and sticks, under good control of course. Car parking is patrolled by zealous wardens in black military style combat uniforms checking tickets. The artificial duck pond near the visitors centre with toilets is a pleasant walk around, the toilets are often closed. Kids love the play area, the spider pyramid is now half the size it once was, so not such fun for adventuress take a risk kid training, all very safe for the modern child. A BMX bike style slalom near the skate park can be exciting to use. Parking on the side road known for thefts from cars is an option to avoid parking tolls and, a convoluted drive around the business estate to the park and display. Wheelchair friendly, but watch out for the slopes. A good western view of the surrounding country side from benches on the west side, you can enjoy looking at the A453 and Ratcliffe on Sour power station, Clifton Pastures and Gotham Moor of King John fame. Picnics are popular in summer time. The dog kennels can spoil the peaceful space with barking. Look out for real Steam Engines at the Heritage Centre.

Jan '17 A really great open space with something to do for every one. There's lots of wide open well maintained grassland ideal for running & shouting, chasing a ball or flying a kite! There's a huge enclosed children's play area with swings & slides, climbing frames & loads more to do. Nearby are the public loos that are self composting, but we'll maintained, clean & tidy. There is a small outdoor cafe selling hot drinks & snacks as well as a visiting icecream van. Behind this area there is a bridge over the railway line to the village and another small open space. From the bridge you can watch the stream trains when they're running. Nearby the is outdoor gym equipment free for all to use & there are several waymarked paths around the site. These areas all require dogs to be kept on a lead, but a little further on there is plenty of space for dogs to roam free. Please remember to clean up after your dog. In the dog friendly areas there's is a fenced in public (dog) agility course, which is great fun to tryout! There's plenty of our door seating along the various walks, for a bit of a rest or for enjoying a picnic on. Closer to the car park there is a large lake that is home to many bird species. It's well maintained & has a wire fence all round, so there's no fear of little ones (or big ones) falling in! Between the lake & the car park there's a nice indoor cafe & an activity centre. There's also a small 'sensual' wood to explore, with interesting activities to discover! The car park has a cleverly laid out one way system & is only £1 all day which is fantastic value for money and a massive lesson for other local authorities to learn. From the car park entrance you can get to the Great Central (Nottingham) train station too. Great place of a hidden gem. Can't wait to go back.

Wonderful country park with beautiful views and plenty to do for all ages—we've yet to see it all, but there's an amazing sensory trail in a wooded area (completely shaded) just off the car park with at least an hour's worth of activities (or a couple hours if you have kids aged 5+ who can engage in the more challenging activities) as well as a sprawling play area complete with climbing frames, sand pits, swings, roundabouts, etc catering to all ages from babies to big kids. The only thing I'd say is that there isn't any shade in the play area—there's some shade just outside the gated play area where some of the the picnic benches are situated, but if it's a sunny day and you're staying for a while, bring suncream. There's a skate park, a "ladybird train" that takes you to different areas of the park, a "hedgehog" maze, conservation areas for bird watching and minibeast spotting, lots of trails for dog walking, ducks around the lake, and even a few semi-permanent food trucks / stalls that sell coffee, cakes, ice creams, snacks, and other refreshments. Parking is cheap (£1/day at the time of writing this) and you can pay by card for parking (RingGo) and refreshments in the park. The loos are like new—literally can't fault them as they're clean, spacious, and designed for families. Easy to spend the day here—looks like they're about to open a cafe, too!
