    Good large park with a small play area by the car park. It is used for football practice near the car park, but there is still plenty of room on the hill for dogs or children to play or over the far side. Netflix have recently placed a bench half way up the hill.

    A very big park which is great for walking the dog, there is a wooded area and a playground for children also. The playground includes a small zip line. My dog loves it here as there is so much space, you can do a long walk round here. They sometimes hold events here also like the pretty muddy fun run and sometimes the fairground is here also.

    Would've been better if the sun was out, but you can't blame the park for that. Great place to walk the dog

    If you want the feeling of being in the countryside (even though it's only 6 miles from Birmingham) then this is the park for you. We love it here, and you get a bit of exercise walking up the hill.

    Great place to walk dogs either on your own or meet and greet others. Really good place for family fun too.

  • 4/5 Mark S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice big open space. Can be a bit doggy, but if you like dogs, it's OK.

  • 5/5 Deboragh N. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Phil H. 1 year ago on Google
    Took the dog for a walk aroung park, small car park area with play area for children. Football matches are played, i think on a Sunday. Popular place with dog walkers.

  • 5/5 Chris B. 1 year ago on Google
    Pride of Longbridge is a must see event in a beautiful location in a very historical place that must never be forgotten !

    Nice park to take the dogs for a walk in ,it can get really muddy in the winter though so wear decent footwear for the season,no loos or facility's on site though so bear that in mind before you stop for a vist

    Was here for the Pride of Longbridge car show. Great park with plenty of room for everyone. Its very dog friendly and on summer days would be ideal for picnics!

    I really like this park for running in. There are nice hills and trails. There are a lot of dog walkers but I've never had an issue. Great for cross country practice👍

  • 5/5 debra M. 9 months ago on Google
    What a lovely place to relax. Lots of dog walkers. Great day out for the family.

  • 5/5 Martin B. 7 months ago on Google
    Lovely walking with the dogs and seeing them playing having fun. If you see dogs on a long line, keep your dogs away as they're training and may react when other dogs are nearby

  • 4/5 Matthew S. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice park to visit, especially to collect one's thoughts. I always like places with a bit of history and the wartime activities here still leave their echoes.

  • 5/5 Julie K. 2 years ago on Google
    Come here most days with our springer spaniel he loves it as its all so open. It's a good walk so keeps us active 👍

  • 4/5 Paul M. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely large green space surprisingly close to the Birmingham conurbation. The area here is really quite lovely, I came for a car show but would visit again to explore the area.

  • 5/5 Chris H. 3 years ago on Google
    Really nice park. Perfect for long walks, short walks. Has I really nice play area for the kids

  • 5/5 Liss W. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely park with a lovely forest

  • 3/5 Carrol B. 2 years ago on Google
    Cofton Park is my local park and I enjoy it. Do Tai Chi there and walking. Big downside is no toilet facilities open. A park that size should be a must for this facility. Also more bins and ones that can,t be acceptable to bird scavingers

  • 4/5 Cackles F. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely large park, plenty of room for everyone. Although sometimes issues with off-road, quad bikes so be aware if you have children or dogs etc.

  • 5/5 Royal R. 2 years ago on Google

    Next door is Cofton Nurseries. Best place for plants ect. The park is also best kept clean park. Definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Simon T. 4 years ago on Google
    Large park area with flat and hilly sections. Hosts the Pride of Longbridge rally every year in April. hundreds of historic and classic MG's Austin Rovers attend, basically anything that was built in the factory across the road. Great day out always plenty to see and activities for the children.

  • 4/5 Doreen S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a very spacious park. Visited with my dog Charlie, he seemed Impressed too!! Had to keep to the flat but managed...

  • 5/5 Helena 2 years ago on Google
    Really lovely clean park. Lots of dog walkers and children play area, also football matches and other sports clubs use the pitches. The only thing that could improve it is if there were toilet facilities. Plenty of parking in the car park and surrounding roads.

  • 5/5 Motchy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Best park in south bham. Had some very happy memories walking my beloved dog. We both loved it up there. Lots of room for dogs to meet up and run around.

  • 5/5 Jim G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great show, great park.

  • 5/5 Mick 1 year ago on Google
    Large parkland with a mixture of woodland, meadows, playing pitches and changing facilities. Access via drive off Lowhill Lane. Mixture of undulating fields and levelled playing pitches Part of the site incorporates a former tree nursery.

  • 5/5 Christopher M. 5 years ago on Google
    We've done pride of long bridge in 2016 and 2019 and really enjoy the day you cant beat showing off some of the amazing British cars that were built here. Would be even better if mg would allow us to park in the factory grounds for the show. But the park is always lovely and tidy.

  • 3/5 mike c. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for walking the dog. Big open area, not great for children as all the dogs run free. You will often just get dogs running up to you while your trying to play football and the owners telling you not to worry as their dog is friendly. The play area is small but ok for a quick stop off.

  • 5/5 Melissa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Take the dogs for some good exercise when visiting friends in Northfield ,good expanse of open spaces and woodland plenty of sniffability for your furbies and massive fields for ballgames all the dogs here are friendly and their owners too ....lots of places to rest ones derrier so you can collapse for a breather whilst hurling the chuck a ball ...or as I call it lazy man's 5 mile dog walk let them exhaust them selves as you come home from a modest strole....clean stream for a drink for the furry athletes and water play if they want ...so good all round fun fun fun 😊 I believe there is a play area for young children to let off some steam and a vast expanse of acerage so beady eye can be kept on from a distance without them dissapearing quickly from sight ...pooches and kiddlies alike . So all in all a brilliant place for city slickers to visit some green belt as it's only a few minutes from Northfield by car exhaust the pets and return for a peaceful afternoon of dogs snoring ....
