Ward End Park

By the turn of the last century, it was clear that the inhabitants of the eastern part of Birmingham's increasing urban sprawl were in need of an open space. Ward End Park, which opened in 1903 on 54 acres purchased by the city, was the solution. Today, it remains as a great Edwardian park, with mature trees and a boating lake. There are also conservation areas within the park, which is especially popular with young families.
