Dartmouth Park is an historic park located between West Bromwich town centre and Sandwell Valley. |
| |
Although, at the moment, it doesn’t have refreshment and toilet facilities, it is still a very beautiful park. It has stunning floral displays that change with the seasons and are very well cared for by the two hard working dedicated gardeners. The Grade II listed War Memorial is very impressive as it is at present, but is to be restored to how it was originally intended.

There are two pools, one with various species of ducks, and the other originally built as a pleasure pool with rowing boats, but now used for model boats. |
| |
The newly built play area has an extensive range of equipment, and is very well used and greatly enjoyed by the children of the borough.
There are lovely walks giving sweeping views of the Sandwell Valley and beyond. |

The Friends of Dartmouth Park wish to encourage people to see for themselves that, even before its restoration, the park still has much to offer.
The restoration will provide us with the much needed pavilion for refreshments and toilet facilities. However, there are toilet facilities in the Sports Pavilion near the Sandwell Valley entrance to the park and at Sandwell Park Farm, where refreshments are also available. |
