About Malvern and Brueton Park
Malvern and Brueton Parks sit side by side at the edge of Solihull town centre and together form one of the borough's flagship green spaces, managed by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and free to enter. The Malvern Park end acts as a formal town-centre park, with displays of floral arrangements and a modern children's playground that includes the all-time favourite swings and roundabouts, offering play facilities for children of all ages and abilities. The Brueton end, by contrast, is focused on wildlife, with a designated local nature reserve, a small lake and the River Blythe running through it, plus the Brueton tree trail featuring species such as English oak, giant redwood, maidenhair and Indian bean tree. Both ends share Green Flag Award status and are within easy walking distance of Solihull's main shopping area. There are tennis courts that can be booked free of charge, and the parks are well connected by bus routes 5, 5A and 899, with Solihull and Widney Manor train stations nearby. Free car parking is available at the Malvern end on New Road and the Brueton end on Warwick Road, and full AccessAble guides are published for both. The combination of formal gardens, playground and riverside nature makes it a versatile family destination.
