Sheepwash Urban Park, Local Nature Reserve in Tividale, West Midlands, England
The park spans 37 hectares of land, featuring lakes, wetlands, grasslands, and wooded areas connected by the Oldbury Arm of River Tame.
The location transformed from industrial brickworks and waste disposal facilities into a nature reserve during extensive redevelopment projects in the 1980s.
The park functions as an environmental education center where local schools conduct nature studies and research about the Black Country ecosystem.
Main entrances to the park are located on Sheepwash Lane and John's Lane, with an additional access point available through Philip Road.
Since 1985, birdwatchers have documented 164 different bird species within the park, including Black-necked Grebes, Oystercatchers, and Little Egrets.
