Victoria embankment children’s cycle park

If you’ve got a kid who’s obsessed with bikes or scooters, this place is basically made for them. The little road layout — complete with traffic lights, road markings, and signs — is genuinely one of the more clever setups you’ll find in Nottingham, giving kids a proper taste of road awareness without any of the actual risk. There’s also a decent sandpit for when the cycling crowd inevitably needs a break. It sits right along the Embankment, so the walking path makes it easy to combine with a longer family outing by the river. Locals know about it, but it never feels totally overrun — weekday mornings especially, you can basically have the track to yourselves.
