I have lived within walking distance of the arboretum for many years and have enjoyed seeing its evolution. Today l was excited to be in the right place at the right time when a fisherman caught a 21lb beast and threw it back. I have heard of the 'big uns' in the lake and now l can confirm the rumours, there is at least one 'big un' in there. I also went to the art garden and saw some lovely works by local artist Elizabeth Whitehouse. During lockdown the Arboretum has become my walking ground and l have enjoyed actually seeing seasonal changes that l used to drive past. I have many memories of the Arboretum, from skating on the lake to falling in the stream. It is one of the places that l call home.

Absolutely great place to visit! I've been here so many times throughout the years and find it's the perfect place for a walk around the park, it's pretty big but you could just walk around the lake. Perfect for joggers as there are often running events om a Saturday morning and other running events for charity, great place for dog walkers and anyone with children as there is a big playground area with a splash pad that opens in the summer. The arboretum is a popular place and lovely to just go for a picnic with friends or family, there's never any need to worry about getting a patch of grass with a blanket or a bench as the areas are so big and plenty of hidden areas to explore!

A childhood favourite place of mine to visit. Was once home to the illuminations equal or better than Blackpools. Situated just out of the town centre this spans for miles and if you are a fan of walking and want a brake from the city or just visiting this is a beautiful place. Consisting of lakes, streams small brick bridges, wildlife, tea rooms, parks for children it really is a nice escape. It's worth noting however there are signs that say do not feed the ducks bread. Bring oats instead or feed is available from the cafe. This review will not do it justice with good photos.. But whether local or visiting I encourage you to support a beautiful and historical place.

Walsall Arboretum is lovely. We ride down the canal from Wednesbury, stop at Costa at the Art Gallery for a drink, then carry on for a ride around the park. It is very well maintained and is so relaxing to have such a green place that you can enjoy. Sometimes we just walk around with the grandchildren and there is a nice park with swings and slides that they can enjoy playing on. Obviously on bank holidays the park does get busy but it is so huge that this isnt a problem really. There are boats in the summer that you can sail in the large lake which is nice as well, and there is a cafe with plenty of seats should you be hungry or thirsty.

Got to shoot a family photoshoot there as a celebration of the ending of Ramadan. It was a last-minute call as the weather had just stopped raining so we went for it. Had a beautiful walk around the lake looking at the blossom as a backdrop . Then, as I've captured many a bride and groom there, I know where the best spots are and just directed them around the beautiful grounds of Walsall Arboretum to get memories to treasure. I would definitely recommend this place for a great place to walk . There's also a great little cafe by the lake with restrooms. Carl Gorton Photography.
