Walkers Heath Park

Walkers Heath Park is a park in Walker's Heath, south-west Birmingham that covers approximately 21 hectares (52 acres) nestled between the estates of Kings Norton and Druids Heath.

The park has a basketball court, netball court and a tennis court with permanent tennis net as well as two sets of kickabout goals. There's also a concrete table-tennis table.

The park is unusual in that it is managed by one local authority, Birmingham, but is located within and the land owned by a second, Bromsgrove District.

The Friends of Walkers Heath Park have organized volunteer efforts aimed at improving the park's grounds and facilities. Together with Catch22 and The National Trust, The Friends of Walkers Heath Park have planted new trees, added new seating and bins, cleaned out Chinn Brook that runs through the park, and laid new hedges. A "Community Games" were held on the grounds to encourage local residents to use the renovated facilities. Several areas of the park are suitable for bicycling, including mountain biking.
