A real hidden park this, I only discovered this whilst walking the Birmingham Canal and saw an access on my O.S.Map albeit an extremely dark tunnel beneath both canal and railway! What an excellent undertaking to reclaim over 35 acres of disused industrial land to provide lakes, ponds and woods for I guess multitudes of wildlife. I only walked along a few of the myriad of paths and saw hundreds of coots, several herons and surprisingly cormorants! (Birmingham must be as far from the sea as you can get!) It was a dry but cloudy Saturday and I only saw two other people in there! What a peaceful haven, away from the noise of modern day living, which assaulted my ears when I exited at Great Bridge.
PS - can anybody tell me what the bird doing a “take-off” is when I zoomed in to the heron?

Would be lovely if young and old adults didn't go there to drink alcohol and bring uncontrolled dogs.

Nice place to take a walk and clear the mind. Lots of woodland, open fields and ponds

Too many drunk immigrants and people with dogs off lead. Never really feel safe going over with my young daughter. Shame really, place has got potential
