Bestwood Park Estate is a large council estate located to the north of the city of Nottingham, England, and roughly bounded by Beckhampton Road, Oxclose Lane and Queens Bower Road,[2]

Origins

It is distinct from the older Bestwood Estate to the west. Development began during the late 1950s and early 1960s, whereas Bestwood Estate was developed during the 1930s.

Schools

Glade Hill Primary and Nursery School and Robin Hood Primary School.

Churches

Bestwood Park Church and Infant of Prague Catholic Church.

Green Areas

Sandy Banks Local Nature Reserve (LNR), and Glade Hill wood. The latter is on a small hill and so visible from all around. It is erroneously known locally as "Bendigo's Ring" since the original place of this name, in Bestwood Estate, is much less visible.[3]
