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.
