Information about this open space

Elmdon Park is unique in Solihull for its steeply rising ground offering views across the entire West Midlands conurbation and has a countryside feel to it.  This historic park is the former estate of the Spooner family.  As well as recreational and play facilities nature conservation and wildlife are important in the park, which includes a Local Nature Reserve, lake and Brook.  Recent works to the lake have improved water quality, provided interpretation and created nesting sites for wildlife.  Habitat diversity has been increased by the creation of a wildflower meadow covering over 20 hectares, and Elmdon Park Woodland is designated a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation.  The park is a venue for a number of events including the successful Easter Egg Hunt, which attracts over 700 children annually.
