1 / 3Cotteridge Park
📍 Cotteridge, West Midlands
A well-maintained urban park in Cotteridge with a children's play area, skate park, basketball and tennis courts, wooded sections, and weekly free community activities.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
A strong all-round community park for families with children of any age. The range of spaces — open grassland, wooded sections, skate park, and playground — means different family members can spread out and do their own thing. Forest school birthday parties are an unusual and genuinely engaging option for children aged 4 to 10.

“What a great park! Such a variety of different spaces, it has a good kids play area, skate park, basketball court, tennis courts (if a little basic), wide open parkland area, wooded areas, plenty of benches and bins too. Beautifully kept and loads of community activities going on here as well. Not sure what's going on with 'The shed' cafe, seems closed down at the moment, but hopefully will reopen soon.”

“A little gem of a park that I’ve only recently discovered, despite living in the area for quite some time. Being used by lots of different people and the local notice board is full of things taking place there/in the area. The Shed was closed by 4pm whilst we were there on a Monday, would be interested to see what it offers when open. Will definitely revisit now I know this lovely space is there!”

“Pros: large space, well maintained, large children’s park, some sort of community club building (I didn’t enter,) skate park, basketball/tennis courts, benches, picnic benches literally everything a park needs (and more) + loads of free activities through the week such as strolls, Zumba, yoga and chess! Cons: skate park is small (not a real con I really had to think of something)”
