Cannon Hill Park   

Cannon Hill Park is one of the premier parks in Berminham and has been awarded Green Flag status. With beautiful flowerbeds, lakes, pools and a wonderful collection of trees, it"s easy to see why. There"s plenty of opportunity for exercise at the park"s tennis courts, bowling and putting greens and wildlife enthusiasts can follow the walkways and cycle routes longside the River Rea.

The conservation area within the park includes a 5 acre woodland known as the "RSPB Centenary Plantation". There is also a wildflower meadow, which is sown each year with cornfield annuals such as field poppy, cornflower and corn marigold, providing visitors to the Park with a spectacle which is very rare in the urban environment. Traditional forms of land management are used to enhance this beautiful area, less than 2 miles from the centre of Birmingham.

The park is an ideal venue for families with children"s play areas and boats for hire on the lake in the summer. There are plenty of picnic areas and refreshments are available at the Garden Tea Rooms and the Midland Arts Centre.
