Calthorpe Park

Calthorpe Park is a green space in Edgbaston divided by the River Rea into two connected sections. Mature trees and lawns form the setting, with pathways linking both sides and facilities for sports and children's activities.

The park was established in 1857 when Frederick Gough, 4th Baron Calthorpe, donated land from his estate for public use. This gift created a recreational space for the growing neighborhood at that time.

The park serves as a gathering place where the local community marks celebrations and cultural occasions together. Visitors encounter different events throughout the year that reflect the neighborhood's diversity.

The park can be reached through multiple entrances on Edward Road, Cheddar Road, and Speedwell Road for flexible access. Once inside, visitors find sports facilities, children's areas, and well-maintained paths suitable for walking.

Two bridges span the River Rea to connect both sides of the park, making it easy to explore the entire area without getting wet. These crossings become natural waypoints for visitors navigating through the space.
