Cotteridge Park
Cotteridge Park is a community-managed Victorian park spanning 22 acres in the Bournville & Cotteridge ward. It hosts CoCoMAD, a free annual festival (typically early July, 12pm-7pm) celebrating independent music, art, dance, science and circus. The festival features live music stages, food and craft stalls, children’s activities including folk instrument making and tree climbing, face painting and jewellery-making workshops. The park itself offers basketball and tennis courts, a skateboard park, play areas, an amphitheatre and a community building (The Shed). CoCoMAD is free entry but powered by donations, sponsorships and volunteer labour. The festival welcomes picnics but no BBQs; there is no car parking. Access is via walking, cycling or public transport from Kings Norton or Bournville stations.

Pros: large space, well maintained, large children’s park, some sort of community club building (I didn’t enter,) skate park, basketball/tennis courts, benches, picnic benches literally everything a park needs (and more) + loads of free activities through the week such as strolls, Zumba, yoga and chess! Cons: skate park is small (not a real con I really had to think of something)

What a great park! Such a variety of different spaces, it has a good kids play area, skate park, basketball court, tennis courts (if a little basic), wide open parkland area, wooded areas, plenty of benches and bins too. Beautifully kept and loads of community activities going on here as well. Not sure what's going on with 'The shed' cafe, seems closed down at the moment, but hopefully will reopen soon.

Such a lovely local park which became even more of a haven in lockdown. Great amount of space and different sections to look at while walking. The hut (serving tea, coffee and ice cream) when up and running, is a great addition and the playground is a good size too.

A very pleasant urban park. It is well maintained with footpaths to walk along and some open areas of grassland to walk through. There is a small car park. There is an extensive children's play area. There are some some free tennis courts too. The park is very popular with dog walkers. There is plenty of signage around the park with some reference to a Friends group for the park. See the attached photos for details.
