1 / 3Victoria Common Play Area
📍 Birmingham, West Midlands
Victoria Common in Northfield features two separate play areas, a basketball court, outdoor gym equipment, and flat paths perfect for bikes and scooters. Free parking nearby behind the library.
This is a really nice space - with two play areas and a whole park to stroll around with grass, flower beds and flat pathways it’s good for a little walk. We like to park behind the library, wander around to the shopping centre for a snack from the bakery or ice lollies from a supermarket and then picnic in the park. You can easily head around on bikes, scooters or with a push chair. And with a basketball court and the outdoor gym equipment it’s a great one for getting a jog in. If you like playing Pokémon Go then you’re good here too!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
An excellent choice for mixed-age families who want varied activities beyond a single playground. Two play areas, a basketball court, outdoor gym, and flat bike-friendly paths make this one of the better free outdoor spaces in Northfield. Families with prams will find the flat paths easy going.

“A lovely park in Northfield. Quite well maintained and spacious to have a walk or kids can spend time in the play area. Parking is free for a period of time I think but not in very good condition with lots of holes and quite bumpy.”
