About the Park

History

The site was created in the 1920s by unemployed ex-servicemen as a tribute to locals who lost their lives in the First World War.

The park has been regenerated by the local community and there is a Friends of Willenhall memorial park group. It has held a Green Flag award since 2008.

Today, you can enjoy a wide variety of trees, plants and shrubs and a range of facilities.
