Park

The Estates of Green Trails invites neighboring communities to come enjoy the park at Shillington and Fry Road. A wonderful addition to our community encouraging family picnics, playgroups, a place to meet and bring laughter, smiles and good fun! Jenna and Josiah Hellekson, who recently relocated to Nottingham Country expressed, “with four little ones under the age of six, having outdoor space to get their energy out each day is crucial. We were thrilled to discover the new park nearby that we can enjoy for years to come.” Park hours are from dawn ‘til dusk. Ages 2 to 12. Building memories!
