Ladies that Lunge Finding Inspiration in Each Other As a committee, we are an eclectic bunch with interests and experience in many areas. Catherine Bailey, one of our members voiced she would like to see an adult gym on Abbey Park a few years ago and for a long time the idea sat on the back burner, non of us really knowing how to go about it. When the old Abbey Depot was knocked down we were made aware of funding that could be used to facilitate our plan and we worked with Rushcliffe Borough Council on the design and plans. Below you can see some of the photos of the Gym installation which happened in Summer of 2025. See the transformation Our Story From the day the Gym was installed some of us were itching to get started but we couldn't help feeling slightly intimidated and silly using the equipment on out own, so we decided to pop a post on Abbey Park Local to see if any other women wanted to join us and so our group was formed. As we all lead busy lives the meetings are open to anyone that can make them. They don't have to come regularly (but it helps them if they do). We meet every Tuesday & Saturday from 11am til midday. If you would like to join us, please do get in touch by emailing abbeypark.ng@gmail.com best of all, its FUN & FREE! Our First Birthday 21 July 2026 We finally reached our first birthday today and what a birthday it was! The group has grown over thear with many more ladies taking part when they can fit it into their busy days. Below are a a couple of photos of today, followed by a slide show of some over the past year. We have learnt to celebrate everyones achievements no matter what they may be and we have formed a solid friendship group too. Other bonuses have been: Some ladies have joined a cycling group ran by one of our ladies There have been two weddings, one some of us attended, dressing up as Rockerbilly ladies (Great fun!) There is soon to be a third wedding! We regularly pop down to Polly's on Abbey Road for a bite to eat (as can be seen immediately below). If you want to improve your strength, stamina and general fitness, why not come along? It's still FREE and we would love to meet you. Group shots taken today at the gym and lunch at Polly's

A brief history of Abbey Park and it's immediate surroundings Home A.P.C.A.Minutes Green Areas Clubs & Activities Abbey Park History Items WeBCan More Back Abbey Park History Side by side map OS 1:10,560, 1949-1969 map and present day Abbey Park in West Bridgford estate is a quiet area of West Bridgford with an ever growing range of cultures. It constructed during the mid– to late–70s on land that were previously uncultivated fields and allotments (some of which still remain). The Willow Tree pub was constructed at the same time. The roads are named after famous abbeys and are laid out in a manner that precludes fast driving. The majority of homes were constructed for private purchase, however there are a smaller number constructed for social housing . A mix of three, four and five-bedroom homes on the private‐owned estate are townhouse , semi-detached , link detached, and detached configurations, with a small number of bungalows that are sought after. Bisham Drive, Dale Close, Newstead Drive, Mountsorrel Drive, Fountains Close, Waltham Close, and Nearsby Drive form the larger housing areas with the houses arranged in cul-de-sacs . The two through-roads on the estate are Rufford Way and Buckfast Way. Below you will see original plans for each of the styles of houses built on the estate Application is no longer available. Application is no longer available. Tewkesbury Close, Hexham Close, Bolton Close, and Furness Close, and includes some warden-aided accommodation for the elderly are to be found near what was the old Council Depot site and a community Centre sits along side these dwellings .
