“Went for a walk with my friends a couple of weeks ago; we were just wondering if there were any nice spots for picnic. We found some cozy yet shaded place around the lake. It was a lovely sunny day. Get your water as it can be a very long walk for you to completely roam the site.”

“Nice peaceful park to venture around. Lots of trees and dog walkers. Paths will guide you around the area. Some poor cat got lost.”

“An away from it all bit of countryside within East Birmingham. We took the dog for a walk and met other friendly dog walkers. Didn't get the chance to walk around the pond because of young motor cyclists racing on the grass and unsettling the dog.”
