Palfrey Park is a significant local landmark and is cited as one of Walsall Council’s flagship greenspaces and the first in the borough to achieve the national Green Flag Award in 2007 and retained annualy thereafter in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
The Park is located within walking distance of Palfrey Town Centre and its Broadway West entrance is located off Broadway West (A4148 Walsall ring road).
The original park was opened in 1886 and extended in 1924 to cater for the rapidly expanding urban development and need for open space to provide active and passive recreation for the surrounding areas.
