Wildlife
A number of nationally important species thrive at the park and new species are recorded year by year.
It is a Local Nature Reserve and Site of Biological Importance Grade 1.
History
Once part of the Earl of Dudley’s landscaped parkland, a large area of the park became one of the most productive collieries in the world. The mine employed over 3,000 people and produced 12,000 tons of coal a week at its height. The colliery closed in 1968 and the park created in the early 1980s.
Today
The park provides a safe, well managed, easily accessible and wildlife-rich introduction to beautiful countryside.
The park has been awarded Green Flag status, which recognises well managed parks and green spaces for their high standards and environmental management.
