  Large free car park next to the excellent Nottingham tram service. Can't go wrong with that.

  Good for taking the stress out of City parking, you can safely park, walk or catch a bus or tram into the city centre.

  Very busy park and ride site, although a very large site it can still be difficult at peak times to find a space. Parking is free. The tram service from here is regular and provides a sensible way to get into the city centre or even wider such as to QMC hospital

  Forest park and ride a large free, yes free car park located next to the Forest Tram Stop. Before going any further i should make it clear that this location has absolutely nothing to do with Nottingham Forest the football team or their ground which is approx 3 miles away on the other side of town. This forest ground used to be the site of Nottingham’s racecourse until it was moved out to Colwick, its present site. The area has not beed largely turned over the recreation grounds and of course the car park, in what is colloquially known as ‘Park and Ride’. This of course is excellent as the parking is free, and the return trip into the city centre is less than the the proverbial Starbucks, is completely fat and caffeine free and does away with the need to interact with an absolutely ghastly ‘barista’. I am joking about the barista, some of them are absolute poppets. Something i had realised though was a rather startling and little known fact about the actual car park was that it was designed and engineered by students from Nottingham University who as an experiment with new materials and techniques engineered the surface of the car park so that each geodesic point on the surface of the car park is exactly the same distance from the centre of the earth. Therefore it is probably the flattest area of laid asphalt on the surface or the earth. The Forest Ground is of course also the venue each October for the Goose Fair. The fair was given its charter in 1284 by Edward the 1st.

  Eady to drive here and hop on the tram to Nottingham town for only shopping or even theathre, one if the stops is just next to it on its right side and left side of Starbucks, amazing little cafe named Homemade where they have good selection of cakes, vegan cakes, very friendly staff, chilled out atmosphere and I finally could enjoy a cuppa and a cake with my little dog sitting on my lap too. At forest recreation ground which is just next to park & ride The Goose fair is happening every year at the first week of October. It is one of the biggest fairs, and it is going on foe more then 700 years. Good vibe and some good food stalls. It isnt possible to use car park those days but it is ok to park at close Asda ( I know ... cheeky ;) ) for couple of hours and there you can buy some cheaper refreshments if you dont want to spend fortune for food at the fair. The groung is perfect for sports, there are few football grounds, toilets and a cementery on the hill.
