Lovely park Plenty of space to walk with the kiddies. Nice play area but it gets crowded at weekends. Quieter in the week but keep away from the truants smoking weed near the pool and bandstand. Needs more security around there. Beautiful lake area with wildlife.

Always going there, we live nearby and like many others walk our dog daily.It is near to the canal, so you can walk there or has amenities for all ages in the park itself. In summer it is always used well at the weekends. Swings and paddling pool for children. Miss the illuminations.

It was obvious that a lot of planning had gone into this years bonfire/fireworks extravaganza. It was done in such a way that all spectators were able to see all the shows on rotation without missing out
The fireworks display was really well designed and there were lots of oohs and aahs from the crowd
The fair was really busy and although I am not a fan myself, there seemed to be a good variety to suit all tastes.
All in all well worth the money and already looking forward to the Christmas festivities.
The park area itself is a lovely quiet place to walk, run or take the kids for a good day out whatever the weather, well worth a visit whether there is something on or not

This park is a delightful oasis in a very run-down and depressing town. Recently upgraded it has pleasant walks, tree lined avenues, flower beds, rockeries,two small lakes, wild fowl and birds of various kinds and a very pleasant little café.
Walks of various lengths are available and it is also possible to progress from the extension of the park to a canal side path.
The park is near the town centre and parking is available at various points around its perimeter. Well worth a visit.

Really tranquil place with play areas for children, boating and feeding ducks. Opens until late and later on in the year is arboretum lights which are great fun for people with young families.

I had not been to Walsall Arboretum in many years, in fact prrobably 25+ years ago on one bonfire night with my sons...
Local to Walsall Town, 40p an hour parking at several near carparks Or a £3.00 West midlands day ticket that gets you anywhere in the West midlands, from when the buses start to when they finish on day of purchase on bus....
I safely crossed the roads at the x junction because yeah I decided to use West midlands travel.
I got my bus to Walsall, strolled up the town, past the gala baths an saw the entrance to the park.
Well, I was surprised at how vast the park was, well cared for, miles of pathway, café, toilets, plenty of picnic areas, plenty of benches everywhere,
Ponds, streams, parks,
I eventually took a rest break, went into the café, ordered a fresh filter coffe and a hot sandwich. Then freshened up in the bathroom and again I continued strolling along.
Everyone I met, was friendly, said hello.
A place for all age groups and all abilities. Sooooo relaxing and enjoyable whole day.

A beautifully maintained, calm and picturesque walk or place to play with children. Well worth a visit and an attraction we are very lucky to have in Walsall. It's a great place to walk the dog and has lovely areas to explore.

I have been attending the Walsall Arboretum Parkrun regularly on a Saturday morning. It is a pleasure to run around, clean and picturesque. It is a place where you can enjoy a pleasant walk around very beautiful surroundings, with the added bonus of an excellent café servicing very tasty food. The breakfasts are particularly good.

My old farm house overlooks the arboretum, I moved there ages 25, the running route around the park is excellent and if you want to challenge yourself there are steep hills to sprint up to get a good workout. 5 years after this I then had babies and took them to the park every day to feed the ducks, the park is really clean, lots of free facilities, basket ball, tennis, lido in the summer, the park, exercise areas etc and now a beautiful cafe. I have since moved to Worcestershire which does have lovely parks but my happiest memories arebof the Walsall arboretum. I came back in November for a visit with my dogs and was very impressed at how much money has been spent, it’s definitely worth a day out.

Such a beautiful place. Very relaxing to watch the ducks and swan swimming in the pool. There are also live bands to watch and events on bank holidays which are great for the kids. There's a nice cafe but can get very busy. Plus theres a park and nice splash pad for the kids to play in the water. It's great for kids of all ages.

I visit the Arboretum twice each week to meet up with the Voices Entwined choir at the cafe/visitor centre & the staff are really nice & helpful. I park outside & walk through passed the lake & amusing wildlife. It's all very relaxing, even in the rain & it's good to see parents out with their children. After my last 2 hour session with the singers, I felt so alive. PS the snacks are OK too.

Excellent food and good service given here .... we had a 3 year old with us...who was given a balloon and colouring things which kept her content till the food arrived but we were let down by our food coming out quite a while before hers so we started giving her bits off our plates Sony the time hers arrived she was almost full from our plates so wasted the cost of her meal
