A council has announced more details about the car parking charges at Gedling Country Park and the permit scheme, which will come into effect from 1 April 2025.
Rushcliffe Country Park has a visitor’s car park and street parking.
The entrance gate and parking sign acts as the boundary to the pay-and-display area. Charges are up to 3 hours – £1.50. Over 3 hours – £3.
For regular visitors to Rushcliffe Country Park, an annual parking permit from Rushcliffe Borough Council is availble for £55.
But Gedling Borough Council who recently announced introducing charges has confirmed much higher rates.
A spokesperson for Gedling Borough Council said:
‘We previously announced that a £2 daily charge is to be introduced to help support the upkeep and maintenance of the park.

‘We can now confirm that, following feedback from the consultation, permits and passes will be available as follows:
• Permits for Gedling Country Park will be £200 annually, which is equivalent to 55p per day or £55 per quarter, which is approximately 60p per day to park.
• Free permits will be given to the Trustees and Committee Members of Friends of Gedling Country Park
• 25 free permits will be given to volunteers of both Gedling Junior and Gedling Park Run
‘We will be announcing details shortly on how people can apply for a permit before the charges commence on 1 April 2025.’
