Highfields Park, Nottingham, Grade II listed park in Lenton, England
The 21-hectare Highfields Park features numerous trees, exotic plants, and a central boating lake surrounded by landscaped walking paths and gardens.
In 1920, Sir Jesse Boot, founder of Boots and Co Ltd, purchased the Highfields Estate to establish the University of Nottingham and create this park.
The Nottingham Model Boat Club conducts sailing activities every Sunday morning at the lake, maintaining a tradition that started in 1931.
Visitors can rent rowing boats, canoes, and kayaks at the lake from May to October, with the facility operating daily from 10 AM to 7 PM.
The park integrates natural rock formations around its boating lake, while Tottle Brook flows through a specially designed culvert beneath the grounds.
