1 / 2Cofton Park
📍 Birmingham, West Midlands
Large south Birmingham park with extensive wooded walking areas, open lawns for picnics, and a children's playground including a zip line. Free parking on-site and pram-friendly paths throughout.
A very big park which is great for walking the dog, there is a wooded area and a playground for children also. The playground includes a small zip line. My dog loves it here as there is so much space, you can do a long walk round here. They sometimes hold events here also like the pretty muddy fun run and sometimes the fairground is here also.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want a long, roaming outdoor walk with dogs and children rather than a destination play session. The playground is compact with basic equipment including the zip line, so pair it with the walking trails for a fuller outing. The wide open grounds make it one of the better picnic destinations in south Birmingham.

“We've done pride of long bridge in 2016 and 2019 and really enjoy the day you cant beat showing off some of the amazing British cars that were built here. Would be even better if mg would allow us to park in the factory grounds for the show. But the park is always lovely and tidy.”
