Walsall Arboretum
Latest Reviews
Nice summer day and my friends 4 year old son learnt his 1st curse word, can't be repeated on here but contained a C and B now I know they can't control the people/kids there, but on the other side still a great place for kids and everyone to go, something for all could do with some more refreshments places and seating but not 3 bad. Also a short golf course again would be brill (hint, hint)

Walsall Arboretum is probably the best thing about Walsall. Following recent lottery funding there are huge improvements to the paths, play areas etc. Kids love the splashpool, and there are some nice walks at the top end through the woods and upto the canal. Generally well maintained. Looking forward to being able to stop off for a decent coffee and cake once the visitors centre is completed.... (although I fear it will be hotdogs, fries and burgers)

We love the Aboretum with so much to do. The splash park kept my boys entertained throughout the summer and they have a lovely park and skate park or you can just go for a walk and feed the ducks. Nice free day out!

Its basically a big park. That said its nice to enjoy a walk around the varying area. The town end has a couple of lakes with duck and some fishing available. Further in you can find some nice areas with water for kids, further in its open green areas, places to play ball and picnic if you want to. It is easy to walk around and would be ok for wheelchairs and prams. Its nice to be amongst trees and all things green so close to town. The shame is it has not got much colour
Worth a walk though

A scenic park with a large network of flat pathways for cycling and walking. Great park for the kids with water play area. An inexpensive and fun day out. Take a picnic and enjoy the sun. Not much fun if it rains.

I regularly come here , it's a lovely park for dog walking , staff work very hard to keep it clean and litter free , there are plenty of bins scattered about to dispose of your rubbish .

Went today not for the first time and enjoyed as always. Bring towels, change of clothes and swimsuits for little ones to have a splash. Climbing equipment and play areas are clean and well maintained. Always watched by badged and qualified staff. It really can be a full day out. Forgot a picnic? Morrisons is just over the road at the island to stock up although food is sold on site too. Quick before we run out of summer!

Lovely area for kids, the lido (splash area) is also great! It's a very clean area and watched by attendants. A good day out that may cost you the price of an ice cream!

it is a very relaxing place with plenty to enjoy, just a shame there is so much building work going on but I look forward to returning for the illuminations!

We were taken for a walk here by friends and were really impressed. A stream wanders through the wilder part, There is ample space for football or picnics and a really well equipped children's playground. The walk round the 'lakes' formed by limestone quarrying is interesting because of the bird life. The bandstand, newly repainted, is a gem and concerts are put on there. The only thing missing for me was some information about the trees in the substantial aboretum. But if you are there at the right time there is a one hour guided walk.
The people of Walsall have a real asset here. Well done to the council!

Visited with my young daughter to play in the water park. They have really done a great job, lots of play areas for kids of all ages and the water area is a lot of fun. There are swings, slides, climbing frames,a zip wire, ice cream seller which is nice in the hot weather. There is a small room that can be hired for parties along with the water park. There is also a man who acts as a first aider / security who watches over the area which is nice for piece of mind. Take a walk through the park also some nice picnic areas. Only down side is the toilets which are horrid.

Lots of things to do, sports facilities, kids play area, boating lake, lovely walks, lots of trees of course and the annual illuminations are second to none.

A lot of time and money has been spent on the rejuvenation of this wonderful park. Now almost complete apart from the Visitor Centre which is currently under construction this Walsall attraction is not to be missed if visiting the area.

Had a walk around Walsall Arboretum the other day. Enjoyed walking beside the lake, I extended my walk to the nearby canals! I found the remains of a miniature railway, it's a shame its closed because this would be a nice addition to a very nice place!

A beautiful large Victorian garden, which has undergone extensive restoration in 2013/2014. Extensive public areas for walking through immaculate formal gardens. Large paved paths make it ideal for children with or without bikes, dog walking permitted. 2 large lakes, well-stocked with ducks and fish, with side paths containing small "fairy style" bridges, perfect for Pooh Sticks.
A well-equipped large children's play area, skate park and basketball areas make it very popular for families and teenagers. Tables for picnics, and lots of benches available to sit and take in the view.
Ideal for a sunny afternoon.
Additional improvements are being made to food outlets, and the boathouse will soon be restored so you can hire a row boat.
A hidden gem, and a complete surprise for those southerners convinced there's no greenery anywhere north of Watford Gap.
