Sutton Park is a large urban park located in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, West Midlands, England. Most of the park is a National Nature Reserve; large parts are also a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is the seventh largest urban park in Europe and the second largest outside a capital city. The park covers more than 2400acre, with a mix of heathland, wetlands and marshes, seven lakes, extensive ancient woodlands (covering approximately a quarter of the park), several restaurants, a private 18-hole golf course on its western edge and a municipal golf course to the south, a donkey sanctuary, children's playgrounds and a visitors' centre. There is no entrance charge, although on summer Sundays a parking charge for cars applies.

A railway line runs through the park.

We loved Sutton Park, one of the biggest in Europe. We've seen wild ponies and cattle and we walked a few kilometers admiring woodlands and lanes. There are car parks and facilities around the park, marked on google maps. I would also suggest you bring your bike, the park is huge!
