Beautiful, quiet park with lovely views and a nice path to walk around. Not a massive park but that is not a bad thing if you want a small walk outside, a small kick about with friends or to take your dog out. Path is disability friendly and suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Would recommend +

Good all round Recreation ground (if thats what they're called nowadays?) Includes, Hard surface tarmac basketball/football area, mini zip line 20 yards at a guess. Childrens play area, fitness area with various devices of physical destruction 🤣, small climbing rock, two marked football pitches with goal posts, large grassed area and small BMX type track. The area is surrounded by a 1 kilometre tarmac path + additional woodland area. Fantastic for wet weather dog walking!! Views to east and west of Birmingham are great too 👍 What a fantastic FREE place!

Walsall council run park, plenty of litter bins. Gentle paths with plenty of benches to take a rest if needed. Free Car park (but does close early in the winter) some roadside parking when car park is closed. Great place for a dog walk! Can be run off the lead. There is are football pitches, zip line and fenced off children's play area, 5 a side goal and basket and adult outdoor gym equipment Paths both tarmac and woodland, woodland is managed and has man made paths that stay mud free It is quite exposed so wrap up warm in a breeze

Life saver. Almost lived at this park during the last 12months. Its quiet, never busy with a little playground for kids, a small woods, football pitches basketball ball court and outside gym equipment. If you want to avoid the crowds like at banners gate then this is the park.
