Walsall Arboretum

Good place for walking and boating. I found this area is not as big as other park in midland. But overall this is good place for Morning and evening walk.

Walsall Arboretum is a good place to have a family picnic I would recommend you stay by the playground as you can get a few locals who have a drinking problem which I wouldn’t want my kids/nieces to see

Walsall council have spent money to refurbish this Victorian park. Home to a Park Run every Saturday morning. Good cafe and visitor centre.

Lots of different areas to the park. Number of different focal points and activities to enjoy. Good for day out or walk with the dog.

Literally going to the dogs. There was a fun gatherinmg of varied breeds, who brought their owners with them Prizes were awarded to classes such as "Best rescue dog" and "Dog with the waggiest tail". The weather was fine, the contestants well behaved. There were stalls with food, drinks, etc.The only drawback in my opinion was lack of advertising. Many more people would have enjoyed the specacle if they had known of it!

This is a large park with so many paths that you can have different experiences when you visit. Its a great place for everone. If I go alone I like to walk around the lake and sit somewhere quietly.

We were staying at the Premier Inn Walsall town centre and this was nearby. A very large park with a lake, cafe, kids playground etc. Kids can feed the birds and have a play while mum and dad enjoy a cuppa.

We enjoyed walking around the arboretum this weekend in the sunshine. It’s so vast and full of pretty areas, it’s almost like you’re not in Walsall at all!
Our one complaint is that the Arboretum would be much improved by a better cafe. We were hungry after walking around and popped into the cafe. We found the menu very limited and the staff weren’t very attentive. As we were ordering one the staff members walked off mid-order without explaining why. We tried their “special” chicken burger and received a tiny bun, with a tiny tasteless chicken burger patty. Not very filling at all. We wish we had packed a picnic for ourselves.

Beautiful place for a relaxing walk. There’s also a free car park. Visited a few times however this afternoon was very busy (bank holiday and beautiful weather) so the children’s play park area was crowded and very noisy (as expected) but the rest was quiet and relaxing

Parked on the side road, we wondered over into the arboretum.
Started off at the visitors centre by getting some duck food. £1.50 per box.
As we had walked passed a troll, inquired & told about the Easter trail still on, leaflets from bottom side window, 7 trolls to find, with a letter & question each, £1 per leaflet, prize for kids whom complete the trail.
Went round the big pond, quite a few other families feeding ducks at the same time.
There were 2 lovely white swans near to feeding area, one swan had what seemed to be a bad left leg, as he kept leg up out of water the whole time. Not certain who takes cares of injured swans.
Had a lovely pleasant walk feeding birds, geese, ducks, swans, pigeons, moorhen & coots (with their big webbed feet).
Ice cream van at top by the Treasure Island Play area just passed the tennis courts.
Trolls were easy to spot, though they only about 18 inches high.
A fun thing for kids & grown-ups alike.
Park ranger talking people round on science trail while we were there, but we were still busy.
A lovely pleasant way to while away the hours on a dry day.

I used to go here years ago every September for the Illuminations. They're a bit of a distant memory these days but the arboretum is - as the name implies - leafy, pleasant and relaxing for a good walk around on a Sunday afternoon.

This is a very beautiful place to visit. I walk my dog here regularly. No two walks are the same, always something new to notice or someone new to meet. Plenty of ducks, geese and at the moment swans. The visitors centre and café are good. Sadly dogs are not allowed inside so unless I am with someone I can't relax and have a drink there. Wish there was a hatch as the seating area outside looks very inviting.

Great for families. Well kempt and lots of open spaces to explore. Parking is difficult on busy days but it is a town park. Icecreams from the onsite shop are a rip off £2.40 for a 99!! Stick to the icecream van.

You can spend a good few hours here. It’s so lovely.
Nice long walks, duck feeding, cafe and playground with splash pad.
Always a lovely clean area and concrete paths all the way around so it doesn’t matter if it’s wet or dry you can visit any time.
Great access all around for pushchairs, bikes, wheelchairs.
