About West Smethwick Park
West Smethwick Park is a historic park in Smethwick managed by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, revitalised by a multi-million-pound restoration that brought the Victorian landscape back to life with a new pavilion, a boathouse and upgraded facilities. Families benefit from a refreshed children's play area, which was fitted with new play equipment and resurfaced to improve safety and accessibility. Alongside the playground the park offers a multi-use games area, a dedicated youth area and grass sports pitches, with a pavilion and changing rooms supporting organised sport and community events. The park is also a good spot for wildlife, with bird walks and bat walks and nature activities taking place through the year, and it hosts a popular junior parkrun that gets younger children active on weekend mornings. With its heritage features, water, open green space and strong programme of community activity, West Smethwick Park is a well-rounded local park for the Smethwick area. It is free to enter and open to the public at all times, making it easy for families to visit whenever they like.
