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.
