A public park of about 26 acres, walking distance from Solihull town centre. The park has formal gardens near the old house site, a boating lake, tennis courts, and open grassland that runs down to a brook. It is the most pleasant green space in central Solihull and well used by local families, particularly on summer weekends.
The park is free to enter and open daily. For visitors staying in Solihull with time to fill between events at the NEC or waiting for a flight, it offers a more civilised alternative to sitting in a hotel lobby. A short walk leads to Malvern Park, which adjoins it to the south and includes a nature reserve along the River Blythe.
