It was very nice and interesting walk through park. Old grow forest and opened areas. I noticed some some small, handmade things looked like small doors hidden between trees. I thought that is some game played by children and get me with memories to my childhood. Brought some joy, nice feelings and made me smile. I also noticed some other things like great stones, old drinking fountain or old fashioned play ground for children. Place for learning play in golf. Everything together makes really nice place for spending time and get a little time for ourselves, breathing fresh air and relax.

Beautiful lush green park. Great place for kids to play. Good place for picnic if the weather is nice. When it snows, it is even more beautiful. Yes, the roads of Birmingham are not suitable for snow but this park is made for snow. May the park be blessed with snow every winters.

One of the best parks you can find so close to the city center. It's wonderful to see dogs running free with children and so many people enjoying the greenery.

Being reasonably close to Warley Woods, I visit most weekends. It's a wonderful oasis not far from Birmingham City centre. Lovely big green space, a shop, cafe, and golf course. It's a lovely space to connect to nature and recharge the batteries. There are also events on at times and more recently a monthly market, but you'd have to check on the website as to what's on when. Wonderful place!

So lucky to have this place right on my doorstep! Beautiful big green park in any season, huge grass meadow, woods, carpark, pavilion, coffee, play area and golf course. Great perimeter walk which is about 2.5 miles around the whole park. Great for all ages and really dog friendly with pup socialisation groups meeting regularly. Our dog loves it! The Trust does an excellent job maintaining it and so many locals volunteer litter pick to keep the place looking good after so many visitors. Great place for all.
