    Sutton Park is a beautiful place, that much is clear. But what of the stuff in there? Well kids,…read morefor answers you may need to look a little further than the visitors centre. This little round building sits just up the way from Town Gate and has long been not quite as good as it could be. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting laser beams, glitter explosions, 3D glasses or any of that caper; but the visitors centre does seem to belong to a different, slightly older world where diagrams of wildlife were enough to animate children. Now I fear that such places are a little antiquated and things like stuffed animals like those in here are more scary than enlightening. One great thing about the visitors centre is how well it blends with the landscape. The small, round, dark wood building with a little dome on it is very discreet on the landscape. The worst thing anyone could do is replace it with a massive pine cabin or glass complex. For a start someone would boot a football through the glass before you could say 'taxidermied fox'. I can't really bring myself to slag this place off because it's such a part of my childhood and such an integral part of the park. All I'll say is go and give it some love, it both needs and deserves it.

    A nice round wooden lodge, in keeping with the woody surrounds, the Visitor Centre has displays and…read moreexhibitions based on nature conservation, information on nature trails, guided walks and events related to Sutton Park. (These activities are organised by the Sutton Park Rangers who are part of the Birmingham Parks Ranger Service. In addition, the Rangers offer a range of curriculum based activities for schools.) There are also nice and tastefully made nature related goodies to be bought (a few neat stocking fillers maybe, for various ages?). Park maps are provided free, but if you feel generous, spend a £1 on a Park guide book as well. It's nice and warm in there too, for a five minute respite from the big freeze along with handy toilet facilities (as an alternative to blundering through the undergrowth for relief, which could probably get you arrested anyway). As you can see, the Visitor Centre is located within the Park from the Town Gate entrance (at the end of the Park Road) and is easily reached from the centre of Sutton Coldfield town with good bus and rail connections to Birmingham, Walsall and Wolverhampton. There is a car park situated at the Visitor Centre for people with disabilities only.
