Parks and greenspaces are an essential part of our urban heritage in which there are strong elements of architecture and aesthetic form. Their use is a significant factor in social interaction and community involvement.

Sandwell’s Greenspace Audit identified 539 green areas, equating to a total area of just over 2,000 hectares, or 24% of the entire area of the Borough.

The Parks and Countryside Management Service holds the management responsibility for approximately 50% of these sites, including all those parks, playing fields and greenspaces that provide a significant recreational value for our visitors and users alike.

Sandwell consists of the six former Black Country towns of Oldbury, Rowley Regis, Smethwick, Tipton, Wednesbury and West Bromwich, each of which provides a variety of Urban Parks and Greenspaces with their own individual character.
