Brueton Park and Malvern Park are combined, just walk along and you’ll end up in the other. They have one car park at each end. Brueton car park you can park for 3 hours for free, Malvern car park for 2. You will need to get a ticket from the machine to display in your car. The machine was out of order when I went (Brueton car park) and said use another machine (there weren’t any) or by pay phone (no idea what this was referring to, there was no phone or phone number anywhere.) No one else had tickets in their cars and I overheard someone say the machine has been out of order for at least 2 weeks. I took photos of my arrival time and the out of order machine just in case of a fine. Walking one end to the other was roughly 20 minutes, perhaps more. Nice park, you could do a short or long walk. Lots of trees and grass, benches dotted along. There are tennis courts, not sure how to go about booking them. Meant to be a tree trail but wasn’t sure where to find it. Would be a 5 but parking was confusing.

Bruton Park is a lovely park. But it is slowly deteriorating. The main pond is covered in Algae. The Dove house has collapsed and has not been repaired or replaced. There is a Cafe which you have to enter to walk round the pond there , but the Cafe is never open due to staff shortage , which means you can't get access to the pond. The pond if you do walk round has been so neglected that the mould off the trees has turned the parasols under neath into a living thing. It is such a shame that the council , or who ever is responsible for maintaining it has let it get to this stage. The paths are close to being covered in nettles and needs trimming. In the fields to the right of the little bridge is a fantastic walk for wild life and birds. But all the wild life signs are illegible and need replacing. Solihull council should be ashamed for letting this beautiful park get to this state. There is a golden opportunity for a bird hive out in the fields too. They should consider it.

It is a beautiful park if you really love nature wildlife geese Swan squirrels ravens crows.. The park has got it all but unfortunately we do have some very bad visitors with some very aggressive dogs unfortunately just around Christmas time one of the dogs chased the poor male Swan and killed him Unfortunately the female Swan couldn’t leave alone by herself any longer and she fled. I hope she found somewhere else better and safer. Brueton Park lake has no safety it’s very dangerous for the Swans They have no islands to hide. Not safe for the geese or the swans. Not safe. There’re too many Dogs running around off the leash any time of the day and early evening disturbing nature and abusing wildlife. The Council need to be doing something about this. I just hope that the female swan found somewhere safer. She spent three weeks by the edge of the water looking for her mate. It must’ve been so traumatising for her to watch her mate being killed and she couldn’t do anything to help him. It was so so very very sad. The Council has to be doing a much better job to protect the wildlife there to protect the geese abd Swans. If they’re going to be putting more Swans and geese in that lake. I would’ve advise not to what is the point? If they’re only going to die by dog attack. I seen so many bad things happening around the park Young lads smoking cannabis every day all around the park in the afternoon and early evenings, dogs chasing squirrels, chasing the geese, unfortunately the geese jump out of the water to look for food to graze on the grass because they are hungry,but irresponsible dog walkers leave the dogs off the leash therefore dogs are attacking geese,attacking Swan, attacking squirrels. I strongly advised the Council not to release any more swans in that lake or maybe put an island there and also repair the wooden enclosure Where the geese used the rest at night. But now the enclosure has been broken down by the last storm we had will the Solihull Council, please please get your finger out and help us keep the safety of the park for nature and for our mental health and our own safety and the safety of all the wildlife around the lake please we cannot go through that again. Next time it would be a young child a dog off the leash it’s very dangerous. They run around and they will bite. Please do something before it’s too late. It was very traumatising watching a Swan being killed by a dog please could the Solihull Council arrange to put up signs no dogs off the leash please especially around the lake where the Swan and the geese are looking for food especially when they are out of the water grazing on the grass no dogs off leash permanently with no exception. Thank you

This was my first visit to Brueton Park but, definitely not my last. It was a cold crsip winters day and the park looked stunning. There was plenty of space in the car park (which was free on the day I visited) even though there were quite a few visitors. I visited here with a friend who enjoys filling up the bird feeders and dropping a few nuts for the squirrels. It was delightful to watch and listen to the lovely birds. It would be nice to have the delapidated bird hide upgraded to encourage the next generation of birders. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will be back soon and would highly recommend this park.

There is an abundance of nature and so much more to explore here. Hidden gems everywhere! A lovely stranger played the flute during the rain fall and it felt like i was a character out of lord of the rings just taking it all in! Love the atmosphere here!
