I visited on Monday. I like the sign (but it's not too easy to read!)
It was raining quite hard
There was some imaginative planting - mahonia, and...
... this lovely purple berried plant, callicarpa.
The busy A449 passes right next to the park - but the ducks don't appear to mind.
As I walked, one of several fire engines passed by.
The grey smoke from the fire (on an industrial estate, I believe). You can read more here
The park is on the site of an old mill
And there are lots of sculptures - I think this is a miller
The millpool
Not scenic, but very rare. Toilets which are actually open. And I didn't need to use them - typical!
The park is a mix of formal and informal
Even the railings are attractive: they all feature different wildlife
Part of a totem pole
A wooden puzzle - how did the ball get in there?
There's a woodland walk too.
Lovely tree colour, despite the pouring rain!
Less than 100 metres from the A449 - who would believe it?
You could be deep in the countryside (or deep in the pond!)
Wooden squirrel
Under the shelter of the willows.
There was the remains of some fantastic wild flower planting.
Still pretty even now
And I am back at the the mill wheel
What a wonderful place. Even on a dripping wet November day. The park is owned by Wyre Forest Council, but managed by the Friends of Broadwaters, and a good job they do too. Click here to see details of their website. Do try to visit it if you can.

Today's walk: Walking round the edge of the park was about 0.8mile. It was fairly level. If you wanted a longer walk, you could go round again. There is good carparking, and public loos.
