About

Kings Heath Park sits in the Kings Heath neighbourhood of south Birmingham. The council-run green space has sports pitches, a formal garden area, a playground and tree-lined paths used daily by dog-walkers, families and local clubs. A small pavilion and community noticeboard mark one entrance, and volunteer groups maintain planting beds and seasonal bulbs. The park's open lawns provide space for informal games and regular meet-ups, and paths link directly into the surrounding residential streets.

Stirchley East moves from terraces to former light-industrial yards that now house workshops, studios and small food and drink businesses. The restored Stirchley Baths building functions as a community hub for classes and meetings, while a cluster of independent shops and cafes sits along the nearby high street. Pop-up markets and community-led projects are common in converted yards and back streets, and allotments and pocket gardens are tucked between rows of housing and old industrial plots. Local bus routes and cycle connections make access straightforward for residents and visitors.
