Reedswood Park is a public park situated in Walsall, West Midlands, England.[1] It is surrounded by the residential areas of Birchills[1] and Beechdale, and is about half a mile west of Walsall town centre.
Historically, the park had an outdoor public swimming pool dating from 1888, and updated in 1931; it was demolished some time after 1993.[2]
The modern park has a skating ramp, children's play area, outdoor gym, fishing pond, a basketball court[citation needed] and football pitches.[1]
In 2013, there was a semi-wild conservation area.[3] In May 2023, there were plans to restore the park's ponds to create a wildlife habitat.[4][5] The park was awarded Green Flag status in July 2023.[6]
