Extensive well-maintained park in Solihull with a lake, walking paths, playground, football area, and large open fields at the top of a hill. Dog-friendly throughout with free parking available.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with children who enjoy longer outdoor walks combined with playground time. The hilltop fields offer a quiet reward for families willing to make the climb. Dog walkers and families mix well in the open spaces. Keep young children away from the swans around the lake, which are known to be territorial.

“Lovely park. Nice big open space and if you dare to walk up the hill there are 2 large fields at the very top. Nice and quiet.”

“Beautiful and Peaceful Park We always visit this park as it is spacious and well-maintained it is. There's plenty of open green space, which makes it perfect for a relaxed stroll with your children and dogs. The playground is a hit with kids - clean, safe, and full of fun equipment. One of the highlights is definitely the lake. It’s home to swans, ducks, and a variety of birds, making it a peaceful spot for birdwatching or just sitting by the water. The walking paths around the lake are ideal for anyone who enjoys a scenic walk - and it’s very dog-friendly, too! I saw several happy pups walking with their owners and even a few enjoying a splash near the shore.”

“Elmdon Park is a fantastic place to visit, especially if you’re a dog walker or just enjoy being outdoors. There’s so much open land to explore, making it perfect for long, relaxing walks. One of the highlights is the lake - the walk along it is particularly beautiful during sunset, with gorgeous reflections across the water. The park is well looked after and feels very peaceful, making it a great spot to unwind. A little tip for visitors: be mindful around the swans, as they can sometimes be aggressive, so it’s best to keep a safe distance. Overall, a lovely local park worth visiting.”
