In recent years the Arboretum has had a big update. It looks better than ever, it's always really well kept and it's perfect for an afternoon on the sun.

A well cared for arboretum. It's a shame the illuminations have gone but it's understandable considering the cost. A great place to take the family to play or simply to relax and walk. It's an oasis from the world around.

Pack a picnic and off you go! We spent the day at the park, as the weather was good. My toddlers enjoyed being able to walk safely along the paths to the treasure island play area. The splash pad was working so we put on our swim suits and spent time running through the sprinklers. We got dry, had lunch, went for a walk down to the boating lake feed the ducks and swans. The new visitors centre has good facilities too.
Easily accessible by road, bus, train as not far out of town. Ample parking.

Quiet corner of Walsall that takes the stress away from the town centre. Walsall has a long way to go but the Arboretum looks the part, adding a sense of calm and quiet for Walsall!

Lovely park just out of Walsall town centre. Nice gardens with a lake and plenty of ducks, geese and swans that the children enjoyed watching and feeding. Only a short walk from there to the play area which is lovely with plenty of equipment for children to use.

The Arboretum is a very therapeutic place to visit and I look forward to the Visitor centre opening soon. There is a lovely walk around the lake and park and also beyond the extension, along the canal which is very pretty.

A wonderful park, with lots of various areas for a different activities. Playground, water feature, walks, bike rides, sporting games, eg. football. The only thing i would improve on is the catering side. needs food and drink eateries. :) well done Walsall.

We enjoy visiting this park, it has lovely grounds, a lake and a nice park. Never used the swimming area however it looks as though it would be fun for younger children.
Every time we visit there seems to be groups of teenagers causing problems which is a shame as it is a nice park.

I have visited walsall arboretum on many occasions & it is so lovely to have on your doorstep especially when your a dog owner.
The grounds are rather vast, they are separate by different lakes which you can feed Ducks/geese. Various gardened areas with lovely plants & shrubbery.
The further you get inside the Arboretum you will find tennis courts, a large play area & skate park.
On a summers day it's lovely to take your family or friends there to relax or have a stroll around.

Given how close the Arboretum is to the town centre (less than half a mile), it is a beautifully arranged park with 2 lakes, the 'main' one of which is quite big. The Arboretum starts off as a fairly 'formal' park with garden areas but it then extends to a more 'uncultured' area (Arboretum Extension) and eventually, you could walk into greenbelt. In the 'Extension', there is a playground for young children.

Spring flowers just coming through. Whole place very tidy. Plenty big enough for a lovely stroll. Visits here in the summer months when the weather is warmer is more pleasant, but it is still nice to be out in the fresh air here.

I never really thought about reviewing this park before, though I have walked through there many times throughout the year. It is a large park with a lake and plenty of ducks and swans to amuse the kids, or to just sit on a bench and quietly feed these friendly fowl.
Great in the summer for picnics, and in the winter to clear your mind.
Enjoyable, pleasant walks any time of the year.

I moved into the area about 3yrs ago and have spent every summer with my family in this park! Last year my son was 1 and he loved the splash play area as did i chasing him round it.Me and my partner take a picnic and have it down by the lake. There are bands on in the summer which is nice. There is a large car park up the top end (away from the town) with all day free parking. There is also shops near the lake just outside the park if it's a last minute thing.

The arboretum is a lovely haven from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The Arboretum is clean and welcoming. The walk around the lake is very relaxing.

A fantastic place to escape in what can be a very dreary town..beautiful gardens and great wildlife...the not so visited back end of the arbourtum (which is the old golf course) is excellent for dog walking and leads to the canal and has a lovely variety of birds for the keen bird watches..Buzzards and heron often frequent this section of the arbourtum...

If it had a cafe it would be getting 5 stars, this is a great space with play areas, skate/bmx park great wildife and a beutiful lake all in the heart of the city. Phase 4 of building works were taking place during my visit (2014 spring) I just hope it will have a cafe. It also has a water splash play area that looks like fun but not open on our visit. Definitely returning.
