About

Northfield Victoria Common is a large public green space in south Birmingham, dominated by extensive playing fields used for football and cricket. The area is bordered by residential streets and local schools, creating a community-focused recreational ground. A central pavilion provides facilities for sports clubs, while mature trees line some of the perimeter paths.

A specific feature is the presence of several ancient oak trees, with one veteran tree near Church Road being a notable local landmark. The common also includes a children's playground and more informal, open grassland areas for general leisure. It serves as a key outdoor resource for the surrounding neighbourhoods, balancing organised sport with casual public use.
