About the park

This five acre-park is made up of land that was once part of a working farm and now visitors are reaping the benefits of a range of leisure facilities and features.

The park was part of Selly Farm, which was owned by the Muntz family from the early 19th century. It was donated to the council in the early 20th century and has remained a popular community space ever since.

In 2006, tarmac pathways were re-laid and a new stretch of path installed, which has made the park even more accessible, particularly during the winter months.
