“The church I attend Potters House Digbeth. The young adults had a basketball match with Potters House Smethwick it wasn't really hot. It didn't rain, and everyone had a really good time. A few people was on the court and they joined in the match.”

“Small area for kids to play with and two cricket grounds to play. Only issue is there is always a lot of litter left by the communities which if you have a dog who likes to put in mouth isn't the best. Otherwise nice park to walk your dog or have a games day to play with kids or adults”

Overview

Hamstead Play Park delivers varied outdoor recreation across large grounds: playground equipment aimed at younger children, two cricket pitches, and basketball courts suitable for all ages. The space is open and flat, well suited to group sports days. Litter accumulates regularly from surrounding communities, so families with dogs or crawling toddlers should check the ground before settling.
