| Handsworth Park |
|
Handsworth Park is a 63-acre urban park divided into two halves by the
Handsworth
Linking Railway. The western half, formerly the grounds of Grove House, was landscaped by Richard Hartland Vertegans in the 1880's and features tree-lined boulevards with broad vistas hugging grassy slopes. This half contains sports pitches, an events arena, cricket pavilion, pond, bandstand and formal sunken garden designed by the Birmingham Civic Society in the 1920's. The eastern half, landscaped by Edwin Kenworthy in the 1890's, contains a boating lake and adjoins Saint Mary's churchyard. The Park Ranger Service is based at Handsworth Leisure Centre on Holly Road. Handsworth Park is the venue of the annual Sikh Vaisakhi festival. |
