Red House Park — Attraction in Sandwell

this is a great park and former estate which has a beautiful old red brick house, hence the name red house park. it also has three great playgrounds, one for young children and two for older siblings and teenagers.

It is also the best place for miles around for sledging, the best place is the hill with the princess charlotte memorial on top of it.

There also is two beautiful lakes. one of which has an island with a small folly on it. also at the side of the lake there is a stone tunnel, which is great for kids.

The other lake is a newer lake and does not have any follies but is surrounded by beautiful weeping willows.

The park also has a huge field with several football pitches.
