Elmdon Park

Elmdon Park sits on the former grounds of Elmdon Hall within the borough of Solihull and serves as a public green space for the surrounding neighbourhood. The park preserves the original estate layout: an avenue of mature oaks runs along the approach to the former hall site, and open lawns give way to pockets of woodland. Paths cross the site, linking entrances on local streets, and there is space used for informal games, walking and dog exercise. A handful of estate-era buildings and boundary walls mark the park’s history without dominating the landscape.

The area around the park is mainly residential, with streets that step down toward the park entrances and small clusters of local shops nearby. The park acts as a focal point for local activity; families, runners and walkers use the space at different times of day. Seasonal changes in tree cover and the sightlines along the oak avenue make the park easy to navigate and lend a clear sense of place within this part of Solihull.
