About

Wood Green & Old Park is a residential neighbourhood in Sandwell, located between the town centres of Oldbury and West Bromwich. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, including inter-war semi-detached homes and later developments. Its streets are arranged around several large green spaces, such as the expansive Lion Farm playing fields, which provide a central open area for local recreation and sports.

The area is primarily residential, with local shopping needs served by smaller parades of shops rather than a major high street. It is bordered by the busy A457 Hagley Road, a key transport route. A notable local landmark is the distinctive, circular Old Park Church, which stands prominently near the main road junction. The community is served by several primary schools and maintains a quiet, suburban atmosphere.
