Sanders Park is Bromsgrove’s Premier Park
which attracts over 350,000 visitors per year. The park, located
close to the town centre of Bromsgrove, was opened in 1968 and
covers 16.3 hectares to the west of Bromsgrove linking to
countryside beyond. The area of Sanders Park and the small valley
of the Battlefield Brook has for centuries been an important green
space for the town. In the area of the park by Watt Close there
used to be an Elizabethan water mill powered by the Battlefield
Brook. This was converted in the late eighteenth century to one of
the first cotton spinning factories in England finally ending its
life as the first open air swimming pool in the area.
It is thought that there are references to the
landscape of Battlefield Brook Valley and what is now Sanders Park
in the poems of the renowned poet and scholar A..E.Housman.
The Park was named after two sisters who
bequeathed the site to Bromsgrove District Council to be used for
the health, relaxation and wellbeing of the people of Bromsgrove
the District Council manages the park to meet the modern day needs
of the local community.
The park offers a wide range of facilities for
informal and formal recreation as well as a varied events programme
throughout the year. These facilities include a flat outdoor
bowling green, two tennis courts, putting green, outdoor skate
park, two Multi Use Games areas and a state of the art children's
play area, Jubilee Bandstand and a pavillion housing a cafe,
information desk, ladies, gents and disabled toilets.
The park is a popular venue for a range of
events and activities
delivered by Bromsgrove District Council and its partners.
There are also a number of play areas throughout the district, and
other parks, open spaces and recreation grounds.
