The Arboretum is Nottingham’s oldest public park and the closest park to the city centre.
This Green Flag award-winning green space is beautifully maintained and home to an important collection of more than 800 trees, including some from the original collection planted in the 19th century.
The park opened on 11 May 1852, in front of a crowd of 30,000 people, with the ceremony led by the Mayor, Mr W Felkin, and the Sheriff of the Borough, Mr Ball. Today, it remains an important space for the local community and hosts a range of organised events.
