The 18-hole Golf Course opened in 1955, was closed in December 2020 and has now disappeared. There are several colour-coded & waymarked walking, running & nature trails to enjoy. Allestree Park is perfect for families to enjoy some fresh air and a stroll.

Lovely park with open grass areas, a lake, a municipal golf course, an old Hall (now derelict and up for sale) and lots of woodland. Great area for easy mountain biking in the woods. Very popular with families cycling on the paths.
Refreshments (drinks and ice creams) available in the golf pro shop at the back of the old Hall.

Still a lovely park but the golf course has closed and the Pro shop is no more so little opportunity for refreshments. In summer there is sometimes an ice cream van near the Hall. Park is due for "rewilding" which means there will be less open space for cycling and, for some obscure reason, a lot more fencing.
