The park lake, which was excavated to provide gravel for the adjacent A6005 road, has boats for hire in the summer and a cascading waterfall with stepping stones towards the western end. Towards the east of the lake there is a children\u2019s play area, mini golf course, pavilion and the Lakeside caf\u00e9 and arts centre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Close to the lakeside car park is the School of Psychology building (formerly the department of geology). At the entrance to the building is a wall of concrete and fossils set into the brickwork. There is no information on these artefacts but some look like fossil limestone corals, possibly from the Lower Carboniferous rock of the Peak District.

Further along the path there is a buttressed terrace of Carboniferous sandstone. The terrace supports the foundations of the magnificent Trent Building, which is built on the soft Mercia Mudstone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trent Building is built of Portland Stone, a popular limestone building material from the Jurassic, quarried on the Isle of Portland. A close look at the Portland Stone reveals fragments of shelly organisms and ooids, carbonate-coated sand grains common in shallow tropical seas, which form today around the Bahamas. Fossils are common in the paving slabs of the terrace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue along the path and the Mercia Mudstone is downfaulted against the <a href=\"https:\/\/webapps.bgs.ac.uk\/lexicon\/lexicon.cfm?pub=CHES\">Chester Formation<\/a> (formerly known as the Nottingham Castle Sandstone). This Permo-Triassic sandstone forms an ancient cliff of current-bedded sandstone. Pebbles and mud flakes are evidence that the site was once a river that ripped over lake and desert sandstones. Opposite the cliff is a small island in the lake where you can look out for an aquatic dinosaur (maybe a plesiosaur) carved from a fallen tree trunk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure  class=\"img-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-dinoasur-calved-from-a-fallen-tree-at-Highlands-Park.jpg\" data-toggle=\"lightbox\" data-footer=\"&lt;p&gt;A dinosaur carved from a fallen tree at Highlands Park.
