Gedling Country Park officially opened to the public on Saturday 28 March 2015
Gedling Country Park opened in style with a special community day launch hosted by Gedling Borough Council on Saturday 28 March 2015. The 240 acre site officially threw open its gates and over 2,500 visitors came and saw our magnificent new country park.

The Friends of Gedling Country Park were there
on the day offering refreshments, park information and membership details. We would like to thank all of you who became members of the Friends of Gedling Park. All proceeds from the membership fees as well as from our refreshment sales will help fund a number of exciting future activities and developments for the park.

For more information, including a map of the events that were held on the day, please see our Opening Day page (under the NEWS & EVENTS section of this web site).
