About Radford Recreation Ground
Radford Recreation Ground is a free, public open space on Ilkeston Road in the Radford area of Nottingham, managed by Nottingham City Council. It sits close to the city centre and serves as a well-used local green space for the surrounding densely populated neighbourhood. According to the council's outdoor play facilities listing, the site has a children's playground, a multi-use games area for ball sports, and an outdoor gym with free-to-use fitness equipment, giving families and older children a range of things to do in one place. The flat, open grassland is suitable for informal kickabouts and casual walking or running, with surfaced paths running through the recreation ground. Its position just off the main Ilkeston Road corridor makes it easy to reach on foot or by bus from Radford, Lenton and the wider west side of the city. Like Nottingham City Council's other neighbourhood recreation grounds, Radford Recreation Ground is open to the public free of charge throughout the year and forms part of the council's network of parks and open spaces.
