"Small park but beautifully maintained, a single climbing frame as a play area.
Enjoy a walk around the narrow park and surrounding pools, lots of wildlife and creatures to see. Such as ducks, dragonflies, butterflies, etc. There are plenty of picnic tables and benches."

"Fabulous little park on the outskirts of Kidderminster. It is well maintained and looks lovely in the Easter sunshine with the daffodils in full bloom. The friends of the park do an amazing job of looking after this site and there was little to no litter anywhere. Plenty of bins provided for rubbish and warning signs everywhere for dog owners to clean up their dogs mess (which can and has led to other parks in the area becoming horrible places to go for a walk or let your kids run round freely) plenty of free parking just off Broadwaters drive and there are couple of shops and a pub opposite if you need food and drink. The toilets were closed on my visit but this wasn't a problem. The waterwheel was in full flow and with all the sculptures adds to the attraction of the park and helps while away an hour or two on a sunny Sunday. It has been awarded protected status since 2012 so the park can be enjoyed for generations to come. As usual, come and visit, use the bins provided and take away some happy memories."
