West Park

I love Wolverhampton… it’s got so much beauty. Canals, parks and great Comunity spirit.
Had a lovely day helping with a project to share the love.
The kids from Gatis street Comunity centre did a workshop creating amazing hearts and then we spread them all over whitmareans to West Park.

Love running here… Nice place with amazing scenery and most runners met are friendly easy to talk to and open… Great opportunity for someone to organise a running together class. Outdoor and local shops available…

Très grand parc que je conseille à tout le monde. C’est super pour venir piqueniqué, faire du sport, faire la sieste ou juste apprécier le calme. De plus c’est très jolie on se croirait presque à la campagne. Une petite marre avec des canards des oies, des écureuils.
je vous conseille vraiment d’y faire un tour si vous passez par Wolverhampton.

When is the council going to sort out some security here, this place is wonderful but sometimes you will come across groups of people either smoking dope or drinking in a public place. Never had any trouble and I hope it stays that way.

When I lived close i used to visit most days to walk dog. Its a great place and the gardens and plants are well kept. Be careful by the clock as drug and alcohol user can congregate there but apart from being a bit loud and abusive they do not cause too much trouble. The café is great and reasonably priced and the regular events are free and well worth attending (steam fair, fiesta etc).

This is a great asset to Wolverhampton. It has undergone quite a makeover during the last few years, and is a pleasant place to have a walk in. The gardens are quite spectacular, and kept in order by a small team of gardeners. There is a very pleasant little café with friendly staff, and quite a variety of food. It is one of the few places nearby where I can walk on a good flat surface. In summer bands play in the bandstand each Sunday — quite a change these days. The history of it is pretty interesting as well. The only offputting thing is that it is a little unnerving at times when you are on your own as there can be groups standing around. Still, well worth a visit.

this park is one of the oldest in the country it boasts beautiful landscaped gardens and you can enjoy strolling round and view the sites there is a boating lake with central island home to much wildlife, it also has a tearoom in the park where you can enjoy a bite to eat. they hold loads of events in thr park including a giant bonfire and firework display on the 5^th nov .this is a must place to visit.

West Park is a lovely Victorian city park, which has been carefully restored in recent years. It has extensive lakes, one of which you can boat on. The plantings are excellent and its good for a walk, feeding the birds or the squirrels. There’s a boating lake and a greenhouse with tropical plants — great for a warm up on the cool day. The newly extended tea rooms have a good range of food available. The children’s playground can get very busy and has been neglected somewhat in recent years, but on quieter days is good. Many city events are held here including the Steam Fair (great fun for anyone gadget minded), the City Show and the annual fireworks show.

West park is a great place to take the children, it has a lovely small café where you can buy ice cream and various other small snacks, and full meals! A chip butty costs just £1.30 and it’s nice to eat while watching the children on the park playground, which consists of one big one and a smaller section for the smaller children. My children love a walk around West Park and we often take a little bread to feed the ducks. The squirrels are quite cheeky coming up to you very closely and just staring at you before scatting up a tree. As said above it has a boat lake, bandstand where they often do events. On one part up by the conservatory there is a small section where children can jump up and down and it plays a tune you have to move to the back of the conservatory to find this but my children love it.

Lovely park in the middle of Wolverhampton. Has: 1 Boating lake, 1 Bowling green, 1 Putting green, 6 Tennis court, Tea room, Conservatory & Bandstand.
The boating lake is great — just the right size to hire one of the boats & row around with ducks following you! The conservatory is interesting with all the exotic plants inside.
Had a large musical keyboard set into the ground on one side of the park when I last visited — great for kids (& adults alike!).
