Forest Recreation Ground

Use the Forest Recreation Ground for open space, play and everyday recreation north of the centre. Its character is an active urban park rather than a woodland destination, despite the name.

Why go

Sports pitches, walks, play areas and a community garden give this space a practical place in a city visit. It is also the home of Nottingham Goose Fair, linking an ordinary recreation ground with a major local tradition. The appeal is room for outdoor activity rather than a building or collection.

What to look for

  • Open recreation areas contrast with the denser streets around the ground.
  • The community garden offers a smaller-scale place to explore.
  • Mature trees border areas used for sport and play.

Useful to know

  • Check current park notices and any event arrangements before planning a visit around Goose Fair.
  • Use the council’s site information to choose the part of the ground that suits your activity.
