Walsall Arboretum
Latest Reviews
I take my children to Walsall Arboretum at least once a week. It's a beautiful green area in the middle of a busy town, so perfect for a relaxing walk or taking the kids to play in the fantastic park area. The splash pad can get quite busy during warmer weather but you can make a day of it if you take a picnic along with you. There's usually an ice cream van by the park in warmer weather too. There's plenty of free parking and loads of things for kids of all ages to do including a basketball court, skate park, tennis courts, table tennis, trim trail, splash pad, park and a visitors centre with clean toilets. The toilets on the park area could do with being updated and they are always a bit dirty. The visitors centre loo's are much nicer. There are two beautiful lakes with lots of ducks, swans and geese and plenty of areas to picnic. I also enjoy the local Parkrun here on a Saturday morning as it brings the local community together. Fantastic area and kept very clean and tidy.

I been coming to this park for ages, it's beautifull, we can spend the whole day here and not get bored, the children's area does tend to get busy but it's still great for the kids, also lovely to walk through

First visit...but definitely will be coming back. Never spent a penny...which is very rare with kids! Took a picnic, went to the splash pad (bit too busy for us though. ..no one's fault though). Lovely play area. Did the troll trail which kept us active.

The improvements here have really paid off. We used to avoid this place but now it's the norm for our dog walks. I also do the Parkrun here too.

It's a great place to bring the family, especially in the summer. It also has a concrete maverick skatepark if you're into skateboarding, scootering, BMX, or rollerblading. It also has fantastic sites for photography too!

Let's face it , Walsall doesn't get the best press, but the Arbo as we veterans call it, really is the best thing in Walsall and beats any park in Birmingham hands down.
There has been a transformation over the last few years not only in the quality of the landscaping and facilities but also in the approach of staff who acknowledge that the park belongs to the people of Walsall and it is there for their enjoyment.
The Splash Pad is a work of genius, I have never seen so many happy smiling faces on adults and children alike. The staff work hard to keep the surroundings clean and tidy, the tennis and table tennis are free and the picnic areas are peaceful and relaxing. The cafe overlooks the lake and I doubt there could be a better view found anywhere . Clare is a fund of knowledge about the variety of ducks and geese on the lake and duck food is available(no bread, bad for birds). You can even take a swan shaped pedalo out, lifejackets supplied, if feeling bold. The former golf course is now Walsall Country Park, no risk of being brained by a golf ball any more(weren't the old days fun!) It is a joy to watch little ones Going on a Bear Hunt , there are few places in towns where kids can walk through swishy swashy grass and use their imagination

Amazing Day Out Highly Recommended

Fantastic to see some lovely and cheap activities going on throughout the summer for kids.
Myself and a friend took our kids aged 5 and 7 to do the den building and tree spirits activity. Only £2 for 2 hours of outdoorsy fun.
We were a little sceptical for a while as the man running the activity didn't seem to have much to say. Was very quiet and didn't really excite the kids in any way. We were expecting the kids to be shown how to make dens, but the were just kind of pointed to piles of branches and told to make their den.
I must say the tree spirit part really saved the day here and the kids loved making them with clay and bits of forest.
The visitors centre looks lovely, i wished id had to time to stop for a drink after. Maybe next time!

Took my young children there, we started with a bike ride through a beautiful and well kept park and then ended up in the adventure island for a play on the brilliant equipment and ending with the splash pad. We spent 3 hrs there and loved every minute, couldn't escape the balloon man though ( £5 a balloon).

Lovely park and walks. Cafe fine bit noisy. Children's play area would be good

Best park in miles. Spacious and well kept. Beautiful. Most people seem to go to the play area which is for children, but miss exploring the arboretum itself. It is stunningly beautiful and well looked after. You just dont expect a place like this in this area. Straight out of fairy tales!
