Walsall Arboretum
Latest Reviews
I used to go here years ago every September for the Illuminations. They're a bit of a distant memory these days but the arboretum is - as the name implies - leafy, pleasant and relaxing for a good walk around on a Sunday afternoon.

This is a very beautiful place to visit. I walk my dog here regularly. No two walks are the same, always something new to notice or someone new to meet. Plenty of ducks, geese and at the moment swans. The visitors centre and café are good. Sadly dogs are not allowed inside so unless I am with someone I can't relax and have a drink there. Wish there was a hatch as the seating area outside looks very inviting.

Great for families. Well kempt and lots of open spaces to explore. Parking is difficult on busy days but it is a town park. Icecreams from the onsite shop are a rip off £2.40 for a 99!! Stick to the icecream van.

You can spend a good few hours here. It’s so lovely.
Nice long walks, duck feeding, cafe and playground with splash pad.
Always a lovely clean area and concrete paths all the way around so it doesn’t matter if it’s wet or dry you can visit any time.
Great access all around for pushchairs, bikes, wheelchairs.

This is a lovely place with lakes, walks, open fields, children's play area and a cafe. It can be very peaceful!

Regularly use the Arboretum for walking the dog, enjoying the trees and scenery. The historical enjoyment of the place cannot be underrated. Excellent.

I have just signed up to the Parkrun that takes place here every Saturday morning at 9am, but being from the area I have been here plenty of times throughout my years so far.
Superb place that has actually improved with the addition of more modern facilities including the café at the bottom of the Victorian section of the park.
Great park to take the kids on, but it can get busy in peak times.
Overall a very relaxing place, a world away from the hustle and bustle of the traffic right outside. With or without kids I would recommend taking a visit.

Paved track around perimeter, ideal for pushchair. Large duckpond and children's playpark. Also has a trim trail and small skatepark.

I love every part of this park. The extension, the formal park, the activities, the cafe, the helpfulness of the rangers and staff. It is a lifeline in a busy town and for many people it provides the solace of nature that they would not be able to experience without it. Parks need people so make the most of this treasure.

Nice to have this area of peace and quite right next to the town centre. Lovely to walk through the arboretum and around the lakes, and the cafe is really good value for money. Lovely sandwiches, soup, kids meals and snacks.

Walsall Arboretum is a good place for a nice walk, or a gentle stroll. It's bigger than it appears and if you know where to go you can head down onto the canal and make your walk last even longer.
The actual regular Arboretum part is nice all year round, with lovely foliage in spring and summer giving way to russet tones in the autumn and then bare branches in winter.
The grounds are immaculately kept and the lake is nice to walk around too.
They often have free events on, either in the visitor's centre or at the band stand area.
For a nice break from the city it's well worth a go.
We've created walks that last from about 30 minutes up to over 2 hours (by incorporating the canal in them).

recently visited with my 2 young children. they have spent some money making some changes which was nice. I would recommend going in the summer as they have a small train that takes you around. they also have a lovely cafe which is nice.

We had another pleasant visit to the Arboretum. We took the kids to the park where there is lots to do. We have a little walk around. There is also a lake where you can see the ducks and swans. We also visited the café for a hot chocolate.
This is a nice park to visit.

Been a while since i've had a wander round here, altho a lot as been done since my last visit it still needs more to pull the local people in. Real shame the council stopped the Illuminations as that was a crowd puller which is much needed here
