★4.4(2,116 Google reviews)

Well-maintained Solihull park with separated activity zones covering a children's playground, skate park, outdoor gym, tennis courts, and large open fields suitable for ball games and kite flying.

✓ Skate park✓ Tennis courts✓ Outdoor gym✓ Separated play zones✓ Dog-friendly enclosure

🏆 Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children of different ages who need a single location to keep everyone occupied. The separation of play zones by age group means younger children and teenagers can each find appropriate spaces without conflict. The outdoor gym gives adults an activity alongside supervising children.

“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.”

“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'.”
