Walsall Arboretum
Latest Reviews
Havnt been to Walsall arboretum for many years. Had a great day out. Walsall council should be very pleased on creating a joy for families.
The splash park is lovely and free. The ordinary park has a good array of well kept equipment. The skate park and basket ball court kept the older boys amused.
Even had a ride in the pedalos on the duck pond for a small fee.
The gardens were well kept and clean.
Nice day out for us all. 2 adults with a 3 year old. 11 and 14 year old.

We had a lovely day here. Parking is free, we brought a picnic, blanket and swimming costumes for the children and enjoyed the sun in the splash park. It was busy but we were able to find a nice spot to sit and people were friendly. We got here for about 12.
Only downside was the water was turned off at about 2:45. Not sure if this is regular as it's our first time here but seems silly to turn it off for the hottest part of the day.

I really love this park. It's really beautiful and well maintained. It's great for taking a stroll and also lots for kids to see and do. One of favourite parks within the west mids.

pleasent enough for local people but not worth traveling too if you don't live there.Its just a park after all. A recent upgrade of some of the facilites but not that improved. Gardens are well kept, you can go fishing or boating on the lake, though nobody was there on my day there. No shelter if it rains.Good for joggers as its safe and kept clean. Good for dog walkers. A small play area for the kids and thats about it. The Walsall illuminatons are long gone along with the tennis courts, golf course, animals attractions from yesteryear. same old story council hasn't got the money to turn it into a proper attraction.

This park is a beautiful place to visit for a stroll round the lake, take the children to the play area or a longer walk to the extension. A lovely cafe with a very interesting visitor centre. We should be very proud of it. Well done to everyone concerned.

I went on a led bike ride with Bikeright this afternoon. I've never been there before .
I was very pleasantly surprised at how big the area is, and how many different things there are to do for all ages.
Pedalos on the lake, a land train, tennis courts, play ground, water sprays for the children, "church in the park" was setting up.
Would definitely come again.

Brilliant for families for a lovely walk round the lake & take in the brilliant light show & the lazor lights in the lake. Parking is in a nearby carpark & a bus takes you to the entrance. Well recommended for a good family night out. Only thing that spoils it for me is the prices for the food.

kids on hols again, getting bored/fed up. take them for days out, cheap and cheerful.
for the more mature of us it's just nice to get out and have a walk around this park,
plenty of seating to people watch.

Excellent. So much for young ones in the play area, as well as lots of open space. Very clean and a great way to spend a day out with all the family.

On wet day good path with plenty of room for dog to run around.
Dog bins available. This was in rural area not the formal park.

A very old established park near to Walsall town centre. It has a children's play area, boating lake or if you prefer big open grassed area's. Good for walking or just sitting down to relax. At the top end of the park is where the big events are held.

Visited here with my 2 children, I have been here quite a few times now, red hot day, absolutely packed out, find a spot by the splash pad, but just a bit difficult to keep your eye on both children at the same time, but all the same a great free day out if you ever got the weather!
Toilets aren't great, but I think they have always been the same way, there is now a cafe and Swan pedalos but haven't used either as I think the pedalos are quite expensive for the time you have, and I've heard the cafe is as well, but still I have always liked the arboretum and I'm sure I'll go back there many tines over the coming years.

I didn't realize how nice a park the arboretum is. I started park runs earlier in the year, and have discovered how well kept it is, what a range of plants there are, and the layout is very accessible for all. The visitor centre is very informative, it has a nice cafe, clean toilets etc.
I'm very pleased it is my local park run so will spend many more Saturday mornings there, but I do visit other park runs when I'm away from home, all I can say is Walsall Arboretum is one of the best.

Our first visit to this attraction .
We found parking relatively easy but our advice turn up early else we believe this could be an issue unless on foot or coming via bus.
The children's play area was well laid out with clear view of the whole area making it easy to keep an eye on your child while playing . Lots of benches so you can sit and relax .
A superb high pressure splash park which is available throughout the school hols and was happily being used during our visit.
Parkland was well maintained and very picturesque.
The lake area was the only place which needed attention with floating rubbish around the edges including unfortunately a dead duck not very nice to see .
Apart from this issue we would recommend a visit and take a picnic .

Great place to take the kiddies in the warm weather. The mini splash Park is great, lots of places to have a picnic and lovely playing area. A lovely day out and free parking was a bonus.

Walsall arboretum is a big expanse of parkland which has something for everyone. The children have a good play area with water play too. There is a big lake for fishermen or bird watchers . Dog walkers frequent the park as there are lots of fields at the back for dogs to run free. There is a lovely new visitors centre. The bandstand often has local groups playing. There are often events in the park set up by local businesses, dog shows etc. There are travelling fairs and circuses who also frequently visit. It's just a very pleasant place to be
