Birmingham Parks

I'm going to put this thread here because it seems to be as good a place as any other to put it. We haven't got a thread dedicated to the wonderful parks in and around Birmingham. Which is strange because we have some wonderful parks.

I'm going to start this thread off with Brueton Park, OK I know its in Solihull but as far as I am concerned it's part of Greater Birmingham.

I hadn't been to this park for over 25 years when my wife and I decided to drive over the other day. I was quite pleasantly surprised at the makeover that it has had. It's now a nice mixture of formal and natural parkland. It has always had a few birds in pens but now hosts a new nature centre that we were not able to have a look at because we had our dog with us. But we will be going back for a look without the dog.

We spent a pleasant couple of hours there and left just as a whole crowd of walkers for MacMillan Cancer Care passed by.
