Rise Park's small district centre is provided with a large bus turning circle that contains four bus stops (the fourth being hidden from view by the trees on the right). At the time of posting only two bus routes normally terminate here (the 16 and 89, to Nottingham city centre via Hucknall Road and Edwards Lane respectively), the other two stops being used by routes 79 and 79A (to Arnold in one direction and to the city centre via Bulwell in the other). The convenience store at the far end of the turning circle (centre) was formerly a somewhat infamous pub called the Charles II, presumably named in deference to the gift of land in this area by that monarch to his mistress, Nell Gwynne.
