Part of the University of Nottingham, Highfields Park is a splendid 52-acre green space full of exotic plants and trees.
Fun things to do here include boating, walking, picnicking, lawn bowls, croquet, and putting. Children can burn off steam in the play area, and the Lakeside Arts Centre stages special events.
Another park worth visiting is the splendid Arboretum, home to lovely gardens and some of the city's most popular festivals. Close by is the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, the city's oldest church, known for its 19th-century glasswork.
