Walsall Arboretum
Latest Reviews
This I must say is my personal review which contradicts a lot of the other reviewers. I went by car on a sunny February Saturday. Despite using my “sat-nav” I cruised up and down Broadway looking for the car park, which I think because it was a private road wasn’t pleasing my map! I think a good way along Broadway I saw a narrow entrance with a height barrier but this seemed about a mile further on from the pedestrian entrance I had noticed. It seemed a rather random area of open land hardly a photographers paradise! Just up the road is Barr Beacon which is photogenic. So really an unfair review as I could get parked I didn’t go in! There was a “brown” tourist sign just as you turn on to Broadway but after that, as is often the case, no further help sign wise!!

Sad reflection of how it used to be. Employ more gardeners Walsall! Spend a little on plants and police the area better. Felt unsafe here with druggies around.

Probably the best thing about Walsall let's be honest.

Plenty of work has been completed to make the arboretum a star in Walsall's leisure facilities. However, there are some signs that care and maintenance are declining. Some of the tarmac paths are crumbling and others are waterlogged, leaves haven't been swept from some of the grassed areas and the boardwalks over the lakes are becoming greasy because the moss hasn't been removed from the timber edges. The cafe is great and the washrooms too. Here there are great display of local history and it is a very pleasant place to meet friends. Maintaining a high standard of repair will keep the arboretum in good order. It's a good place to walk with plenty of free parking.

Really lovely place to go, especially in the autumn or summer. Really well kept gardens, the park rangers, Gardner's and staff are incredibly friendly. You can even get a bite to eat and a hot beverage at the visitors center for a really good price! Feeling sporty? There is a small concrete skatepark near the play area, as well as a basketball/football area on the other side of the path. It's pretty much my second home, I'd 100% recommend visiting if you're in the area.
