There's a couple of parking areas close to the park for cars, scooters and motorbikes. The footpaths are maintained for walkers and there are different areas within the park (spaces for ball games - football, rugby, tennis - seating/benches, tennis courts, children's playground,sheltered area) and a dog agility enclosure where dogs can be safely 'off the lead'.

What a lovely park to take the kids to. There are lots of different areas for each activity. Also several usable tennis 🎾 courts. A skate park outdoor gym 🏋️‍♀️ 💪. There were people flying kites too. The people were very friendly too.

It is a great place to take children. There is a well equipped play area for the children with swings and slides and climbing frames. There's a dog friendly area where you can let your dog run around in a secure area without the worry of it escaping. Large open fields are ideal for games and picnics and an outdoor gym and skateboard park. There is often an ice cream van or somewhere to purchase a coffee whilst out and about.

I visited Shirley Park a few days back and I do love it. It is a simple park with playground, tennis court, a nice football field, great for walking dogs and really serene. I would have given it a 5star but I have been to more beautiful parks that this within Birmingham. If you live around Solihull you should definitely visit this park with your family and or friends.
