Parks & Open Spaces
Bromsgrove has over 70 parks and open spaces, these range from
small pretty gardens for sitting and relaxing, woodland areas for
long walks and rambling to formal town parks with facilities such
as bowling greens, skate parks, tennis courts, football pitches,
children's play areas and a bandstand.
Bromsgrove Council is committed to top quality park
maintenance and management and have been awarded the
nationally prestigious Green Flag Award for Sanders Park for
the Fifth year running (2010). We aim to provide a range
of facilities at a high standard to ensure that the
differing demands and aspirations of users are catered for to help
people enjoy and appreciate their recreational experience. Our
aims are as follows:-
- Access for all ~ ensuring there are opportunities available to
all sections of the community to enjoy the countryside.
- Community Involvement ~ Sanders Park has a Friends of Sanders
Parks Group in addition to several of the
allotments having
tenant associations, we also regularly consult with local
residents at events via consultation sheets and
questionnaires.
- Contribute and promote the associated health and well being
qualities associated with countryside recreation activities through
our volunteer lead walks from Sanders Park and the activities laid
on in Sanders and Rubery for school children during the
holidays.
Royal Hunters Walks
Gateway to Bromsgrove's rural heritage. Travel back in time from
the very heart of the bustling Bromsgrove to the hunting forests of
the middle ages along a series of well-marked circular walks that
begin in the centre of the town. These walks travel the
lanes, byways, medieval tracks and footpaths of the surrounding
countryside, exploring ancient woodlands, local legends, flower
rich meadows, nature reserves, sites of special scientific interest
and the wealth of landscape and countryside heritage that this part
of Worcestershire has to offer. For more information visit the
