Parks and Open Spaces

There’s a variety of green and open spaces within Redditch;, Parks and Woodlands along with hidden gems such as Oakenshaw Spinney.

There are two major parks in the Borough, Arrow Valley Country Park and Morton Stanley Park. In 2008 both parks received the prestigious Green Flag Award administered by the Civic Trust and awarded in recognition of the quality of green spaces and their management. Both parks play host to events and activities, the majority of which are free.

The countryside centre at Arrow Valley Country Park has toilet facilities; café and gift shop and is also a fantastic venue for meetings and conferences.

The Morton Stanley Family Fun Day is held annually and has featured sport and environmental activities along with spectacular shows that have witnessed the largest birds of prey in the country, Viking battles and live music within the Park.

Bordesley Abbey meadows grazed by traditional English Long Horn cattle and Moons Moat are examples of green spaces that have a direct link to our heritage and provide a connection to the past.

Using your green spaces on a regular basis can not only help to keep you fit and active but is also proven to benefit your general well being.

**Please note**

In all green spaces we ask that dogs are kept under control and in some areas be kept on a lead ensuring the enjoyment of other users. Please look out for signs  in areas where dogs must be kept on a lead.
