- About the park
-
This recreation ground is one of a number of open spaces in the Stechford area of Birmingham that plays an integral role in the local community.
The park features a younger children’s play area, older children’s play equipment, a youth shelter, multi-use games area and also a skate park.
For those looking for a gentle stroll there are tree-lined walks around the park and volunteers and local school pupils have planted new shrubs and flowers.
It is also close to the River Cole Valley Cycle Route, which runs for a distance of 10 miles and passes through several of the city’s suburbs with parks and lakes along the way.
The River Cole winds its way through the northern fringes of the park and is a magnet for wildlife along its 25-mile length.
