We came across this by mistake but what a treasure. We stayed for two hours and could have stayed longer. We had a lovely wander amongst the paths, trees, plants, lakes and activities. It was beautiful. No litter the borders and beds immaculate. There was even new bark chippings around the base of the trees. There was so much to see and do for everyone. We just strolled along and were surprised at all the activities to do from tennis, bowling, skate boarding to relaxing, children's play area and the visitors centre wow! A modern building with lots of facilities. The cafe was very reasonable prices. We enjoyed the clean toilets and the video footage of a buggy doing a high speed tour of the area. We thought we had walked a large distance but had only just seen a little bit. I highly recommend a visit. A free event sponsored by the council with a friends group and they even do the park run 5k run on Saturdays at 9 am. Thank you to all the people who help to make this place special. It was a lovely place to visit.

I visited Walsall Arboretum back in Autumn 2015 - it's a lovely park. The new visitor centre/cafe is nice.
I usually visit a few times a year as I'm local.

You would not imagine that such a lovely place is set in the middle of built up area. The park is well maintained and has many different areas to it including a large children’s play area, a café, picnic areas, bandstand, fitness area and much more. With a boating and fishing lake there really is something for everyone. A great place to relax and unwind. Well worth a visit

This park has been revamped and improved over a number of years. I have visited this park for many years and still find it a place of beauty.

We took our grand children to the arboretum on a pleasant winter day. We were very pleased with the condition of the play area, it had a good variety of things for different ages and more importantly, it was clear of rubbish. After about an hour and a half, we headed back towards the lake and noticed the new cafe area, so we decided to have a drink and the kids wanted some chips, yet again we were surprised by how clean and tidy it was and not expensive either. We then went to check out the ducks.
All in all, very pleased with the effort the staff are making.

Walsall, Dudley, Wolverhampton and surrounding areas often get a bad wrap as things go but most of these locations have a wonderful plethora of attractions that are often overshadowed to which the arboretum is a good example of this. Just a gorgeous location within this region. Peaceful, tranquil and picturesque. Good prices for food and drink as well in the cafe. If you're ever stuck for something to do in this area I cannot recommend this enough, especially on a budget. Check it out!!

The Arboretum has really upped its game over the last year. Lots of improvements as it benefited from some Heritage Lottery money. The park is always clean and the parks clean and green team do a wonderful job of tending to the trees and plants. The new visitor centre cafe is now providing lovely food and drinks which offer good value. There is now a land train that runs in the holidays and summer months. The car park badly needs re-surfacing, however. Walsall is lucky to have such a beautiful park.

There cannot be many more parks in the country just five minutes walk from the town centre and which allow you to walk through them into green belt. The Arboretum is the lungs of the town, and the recent addition of a new visitor centre, which holds various evening events too, is a welcome addition.

We've had many a good day out here when our children were little and now our daughter is doing the same thing. It's such a good place to take them. They especially like the water park. If you want to have a day out without spending loads of money then go here

As senior citizens my wife and I enjoy a stroll around the Arboretum, the pathways are well maintained and mostly steps and traffic free. There's a boating lake and large grassed areas with a coffee and ice-cream shop. The walks are ideal for young children, there is a child play area which has recently been refurbished.

Lovely place to visit for a day out or for a picnic & to feed the ducks, play on the park & water park. There are always great events held here. This has always been one of one of my favourite places to visit & have been coming here from a child.

Even in winter this is a pleasant, if bracing, stroll around the lake on a sunny day. Try out the new cafe, too. The staff are friendly and the winter sun feels a lot warmer through glass!

Walsall Arboretum has undergone a transformation. The children's play area is great fun for kids of all ages and offers skateboarding and cycling for older ones. Lovely walkways and viewing points towards and around the lake . The new visitors centre is very welcoming and has lots of activities on offer as well as light refreshments. A cheap and delightful way to spend a chilly Sunday afternoon with family and friends .

I love walking round the arboretum, beautiful anytime of year 👍 Watching the birds in the winter or summer always enjoyable

When the weather is good, the arboretum is a good place to stroll around or visit with children. Plenty of space and park facilities (slides, swings etc) for younger children, a newly opened café is now also good value for money despite some early teething troubles. For those who enjoy a gentle stroll the paths are level and easy to walk along.
