1 / 3Shirley Park
đ Solihull, West Midlands
Well-maintained Solihull park with separated activity zones covering a children's playground, skate park, outdoor gym, tennis courts, and large open fields suitable for ball games and kite flying.
It is a great place to take children. There is a well equipped play area for the children with swings and slides and climbing frames. There's a dog friendly area where you can let your dog run around in a secure area without the worry of it escaping. Large open fields are ideal for games and picnics and an outdoor gym and skateboard park. There is often an ice cream van or somewhere to purchase a coffee whilst out and about.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children of different ages who need a single location to keep everyone occupied. The separation of play zones by age group means younger children and teenagers can each find appropriate spaces without conflict. The outdoor gym gives adults an activity alongside supervising children.

âThere's a couple of parking areas close to the park for cars, scooters and motorbikes. The footpaths are maintained for walkers and there are different areas within the park (spaces for ball games - football, rugby, tennis - seating/benches, tennis courts, children's playground,sheltered area) and a dog agility enclosure where dogs can be safely 'off the lead'.â

Overview
Shirley Park divides its grounds into clearly defined zones: a play area with swings, slides, and climbing frames; a dedicated teen skate park; several usable tennis courts; outdoor gym equipment for adults; and wide open fields. Pathways are maintained for pushchairs throughout. A secure fenced dog area allows off-lead exercise separately from the main play zones. Ice cream and coffee vendors operate on site during warmer months. Multiple parking areas serve different sections of the park.
