About the park

Set in the beautiful south Nottinghamshire countryside - about half a mile south of Ruddington - Rushcliffe Country Park is an ideal place to get away from it all. With a network of over 8 kilometres of footpaths, grassland, conservation and landscaped areas, the park is excellent for walking, jogging, cycling, spotting wildlife and exercising your dog (please don't forget your poop scoop!).

Bring your family and a picnic and encourage your children to let off steam either by visiting the extensive play area, which has some 20 pieces of modern and exciting equipment, or simply use the open spaces to fly a kite.

A brief history of the park

Rushcliffe Country Park is built on the site of a former Ministry of Defence Depot which was used for storing decommissioned weapons. The design and reclamation of the present site was completed by Nottinghamshire County Council in 1993, since when the park has been managed by Rushcliffe Borough Council.
