    Sparkhill Park is quite clearly the best park in the whole of Birmingham. Nay, the United Kingdom. Nay... The world. It has everything you could ever want from a park. The grass. The trees. Excellent and cheap food nearby. Birds. And a small pavillion. It has a play area for small children and another play area for older children that includes the most enormous climbing frame. There are cricket nets for those so inclined and basketball courts. There are paved areas for when it rains and a small, very clean, car park. And of course no review would be complete without a breakdown of the demographic. The people are amazing. No one litters, no roudy teenagers, certainly no one doing drugs. Just your average lovely people.

    I love this park. It's clean (I know it's volunteers from the community areas great efforts) And it feels safe. I love that so many families with disabilities who uses the park. That says a lot about accessibility β™Ώ and comfort.

    The park is absolutely lovely. It's quite big, and has ample benches to sit and soak in the sun. Lots of squirrels, crows, and pigeons to look at. It has a small gazebo at the centre in which you can take shelter in when it rains. It also has a children's play area with swings, slide etc. Beautiful park. Although it's a pity some people litter all over it. But overall great experience.

    Beautiful Park for Morning walk playing area for kids. Beautiful birds have its own car Park πŸ‘Ž Rubbish here and there, Bins were full , Bird feeding should be stopped there should be atleast one person to look after this park on daily basis. I'm giving 3 Star because it's not properly maintained .

    This is a lovely park to have a walk,play footy,cricket, it has a play area for the kids.. or simply just enjoy a picnic with the family. One thing I would like to say is if all local residents can look after the park area and keep it clean and not dump food that attracts rodents it will remain as a beautiful place.

    Lots of illegal immigrants come here daily and most of them are making trouble. They throw rubbish all around. We feel not safe here anymore as last week there was a huge fight occurred.

    Sparkhill Park is lovely. However, it's needs more children's play equipment to all around the park and a gym like Kingsheath Park does. I'm sure Sparkhill is a posh area in itself, and all communities should be treated fairly πŸ™„ The grass has grown and needs to be cut.

    Nice place for the family to visit. Lots of fun for the kids. Kids area and courts available. Not recommended in the evening as there seems to be gangs hanging around. But fab overall!
