About Meriden Park
Meriden Park sits at the heart of Chelmsley Wood and is a mixed-use Green Flag Award park and local nature reserve managed by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council. It is free to enter and open around the clock. For families there is a children's play area with swings and roundabouts that provides play facilities for children of all ages and abilities, plus a parkour facility, a skate park and outdoor table tennis for older children, along with tennis courts. A large natural lake and the river give the park its character, surrounded by mature woodland and walking routes, and it forms part of the wider Kingfisher Country Park corridor that links to Babbs Mill. The park also includes the Meriden Adventure Playground, a staffed, open-access adventure play facility run by an independent charity, which offers free play sessions for children during term-time after school and throughout the school holidays; opening times for that facility are set by the charity rather than the council. Free car parking is available off Moorend Avenue, and the park is served by bus routes 14, 59A and 72, with Marston Green train station nearby. A full AccessAble access guide is published by the council. With its blend of natural landscape and active play, Meriden Park is one of the borough's most popular community green spaces.
