Welcome to Vernon Park!
Tucked away in the heart of Old Basford, this peaceful green space is a hidden gem in Nottingham. Whether you're here for a stroll, a game of football, or just to enjoy the trees and birdsong, Vernon Park offers a perfect pause from the busy city streets.
Opened in 1900, Vernon Park was named after the Vernon family, once prominent landowners in the area. Originally laid out to provide much-needed green space for the growing local population, the park has long served as a community hub for relaxation and recreation. Its mature trees, open playing fields, and children’s play area reflect over a century of civic pride and care.
