Hi,
We are thinking of travelling down to Birmingham from Manchester (by car) to meet friends outside for the rule of 6. Does anyone know the best park for picnicking/meeting up in? Preferably clean, push-chair friendly, with seating and free parking.
Local recommendations most welcome.
Thanks

Sutton park.
Its huge so watch which gate you meet at!Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)0 -
Not Birmingham but Cannock Chase may be another just up the M6 if you're coming down from Manchester. Guess it depends on where friends are and if they can drive.
Saves travelling into Brum unless you're going to go round the city for other attractions that have started to open up. Cannock has lots of forests, picnic areas, playgrounds depending on age range and then go ape and visitor centre.0 -
Yes, I've managed to miss people I was meeting more than once for that reason.tealady said:Sutton park.

I'd go for Sutton rather than Cannon Hill because Cannon Hill can be heaving at times. Either way I'd take a picnic rug or folding chairs rather than relying on finding empty seats and tables.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
And please don't forget a big bag or box so you can take your rubbish home.

Sutton Park is definitely good, with play areas and coffee bars at Banners Gate (A452) and Town Gate.1
