About

Selly Oak Park sits along the River Rea, featuring open playing fields, mature trees, and a children's playground. The park's main path follows the old Worcester and Birmingham Canal, with several footbridges crossing the water. It serves as a green corridor for walkers and cyclists moving between the university district and the surrounding residential streets. The terrain includes gentle slopes and level areas, with sections of woodland providing shaded routes.

Directly adjacent, Lodge Hill Cemetery occupies a prominent, terraced slope. Its network of paths winds past Victorian monuments and expansive views across the city. The site functions simultaneously as a working cemetery, a local nature reserve, and a quiet space for reflection. The combination of the active parkland and the historic, elevated burial ground creates a distinct layered landscape within this part of Birmingham.
