Dartmouth Park

Dartmouth Park is one of the nicest green spaces for families and everyone to go to.
Located in West Bromwich, and about 25mins driving from the city, it’s great to just go for a walk here, or kick a ball about with friends. There is a huge lake, which is nice to walk round on a lovely summer’s day, and plenty of green space so that you don’t feel all crammed in like sardines.
I kick a ball round here with a couple of friends once a month, and it’s one of the nicest places in West Brom. Kids also have a large play area with swings and facilities suited for young small children.
A great event every year is the bonfire display during guy forks night. It’s super for families, free to get in, and lots of entertainment and food on the fields surrounding areas. I’d recommend visiting to anyone, if you can’t make the fireworks and bonfire spectacular, then a stroll or footie game here is well worth it.

I spent a lot of time here when I was a kid, so I tend to get warm and fuzzy about the place.
The park is massive, especially when you factor in the farm area and the adjoining Valley Country Park. Its proximity to the motorway and sprawl of West Brom make the park even more impressive. There is a large kids play area, with some really cool rides and climbing frames. It gets really busy on sunny days.
If you want something quieter, you can take a walk around the large duck pond or fishing lakes. There is an outdoor gym for grown ups, as well as a climbing wall and basketball courts.
There is an impressive entrance gate and war memorial located towards the top of the park.
The Sandwell Community Show is held on the nearby showground every August Bank Holiday. It is always a blast, full of good, clean family fun.
