Cannon Hill Park is one of the premier parks in the city and has been awarded Green Flag status.

With beautiful flowerbeds, lakes, pools and a wonderful collection of trees, it's easy to see why. There's plenty of opportunity for exercise at the park's tennis courts, bowling and putting greens and wildlife enthusiasts can follow the walkways and cycle routes alongside the River Rea.

The park is an ideal venue for families, with children's play areas and boats for hire on the lake in the summer. There are plenty of picnic areas and refreshments are available at the Garden Tea Rooms. The Midland Arts Centre also has a cafe and bar.

If you've had fun on your family day out to Cannon Hill Park, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
