Information about this open space

Handsworth is one of the most ethnically and diverse areas in Europe. The Park is once again at the heart of this community, responding to different needs and benefiting from its liveliness. With the Leisure Centre and Play Centre, the Play and Sporting facilities, the lakes and the Boathouse, the Sons of Rest Pavilion, the Bandstand, and the natural beauty of the trees, shrubs, views and wildlife, this is a Park that offers something for all.  On a daily basis, the 63 acre (25.5ha) Park is busy with lots of people, old and young, children and families, men and women. Early morning power’walkers compete with those taking a more leisurely stroll with their dogs. A group of older locals organises weekly tours of the Park. Several local Primary schools regularly use the Park as an Educational Resource. The Park Rangers also run nature walks and other outdoor education events. The Park is also host to several major events which celebrate the lives of the community.
