    Oh Northfield - who would have thought that you had such a perfect park?? I lived 2 minutes walk…read moreaway from here when i first moved to Birmingham and never went. I assumed, wrongly, that it would be full of youths swigging beer and being a bit lairy. How wrong i was!!I will atone for my judgmental attitude by telling you all how lovely it is. The park is nestled behind The Grosvenor Centre in which you can park, although there is plenty of free parking on the other side of the park on Heath Road. There are loads of grassy areas, some of which are left unmown at the moment making it perfect for dogs who like to frolick in long grass (like ours does!). There is a tennis court, outdoor exercise equipment, a childrens play area and a really beautiful area with tables and chairs - perfect for meeting up with friends and eating a picnic. The Grosvenor Centre, as already stated, has an entrance off the park so you cn nip in for all manner of goodies - there is a butcher, WH Smith, Wilkinsons, Greggs, Rymans, many clothes shops and other places such as a Sally's (brilliant for hair stuffs) and Iceland. Ive bisisted twice now, once on a saturday morning when it was not so busy and just now on a sunny Sunday afternoon when there was a kids football team having a game, many families playing with their kids and various dog walkers yet it didnt seem crowded at all. I believe that you can also walk from the park right over to Bournville village via a network of other small parks - i havent done this walk yet myself but some friends frequently do it and profess the beauty of the area. All in all a top park - highly recommended! next time i go i will take some photos and add them on here as its a shame there arent any already :)

    This is a hidden surprise, tucked behind Northfield Shopping Centre. There are tennis courts,…read moremulti-use games area and children's play area, plus lots of open space. A local kids football team also use the grass pitch to train at the weekend. It's perfect for taking the kids to play on those sunny days or escaping for a change of scenery in your lunch hour as it's just a stone's throw from the high street. I'm sure there are lots of people who don't even know it's there as it can be a little hard to find, especially from the town centre. There's an entrance halfway down Church Road (with parking) or you can walk through Northfield Shopping Centre and go through the exit next to The Fragrance Shop. There are other entrances on the other roads that surround the park.

    We truly are spoilt and blessed with parks here in this corner of South Brum. You rarely have to…read moretravel more than a mile before you find an enclave of greenery and peace and quiet. Bourneville Park is a small but well-designed and maintained park that has the added bonus of having a stream running through it. There is a kids play area that my son loves and we're often here as it's just a short walk from our house. I rarely let my dogs off the lead in this park as it seems to be a popular park for kids, and so whilst there are no signs saying otherwise, I tend to respect the general feel of the place. That said, it's a good place to walk them round on the lead.

    I love this park, it is wonderful. It is so green and luscious. I spent a lot of time here when I…read morewas a child and still visit it now for picnics or just to escape the nearby hustle and bustle of the city. There are lots of trees and it has a large stream snaking through it too, which I used to splash around in as a kid! It is great for cycling through and also for walking your dog or taking your kids here to play. It can get quite busy here in the summer, as you can imagine everyone wants to chill out and sunbathe and enough the nice weather. Occasionally an ice-cream van will pull up near the entrance of the park, which is ideal on sunny days. I think it is a really beautiful park and I would recommend it if you want somewhere to sit and forget city life!

    I discovered this just today by accident, by taking a wrong turning. What a nice surprise! I've…read morealways thought that Birmingham is well stocked with good public parks, and it seems that there are even more that I had no idea about. Cotteridge Park is really quiet for an urban park. Considering the fact that it's close to the Pershore Road, there is little by way of traffic noise. It's a great park: really spacious, with tree-lined paths, a car park, a kids' play area, some big open spaces, a skate ramp and some tennis and a basketball court! Who knew?! The only noise that I could hear (other than kids on their way home from school) was the bells from the carillon in Bournville. How very quaint and pleasant :) A train did rattle by while I was there, but other than that it was relative peace and quiet. 'Relative' due to the fact that it was home time from school so there were plenty of kids running around. Which is good. That is what parks are for. I've decided that I now want to live on Franklin Road (the road that backs onto the park)...

They also provide a miniature skating area and an abundant play area that consists of many arenas such as a climbing frame, rock climbing facilities, conventional playground swings and much much more! They have also assembled park like pieces of art such as their wick hut that satisfies both children and people of my age! It is definitely a place to be hanging out in the summer and is easy to gain access to as its location is situated between both train stations, Kings Norton and Bournville. Even for a nice little stroll, the area is very tranquil and peaceful.
