Dartmouth Park
Dartmouth Park was first opened to the public in 1878 following a request to the 5th Earl of Dartmouth to lease land from the Dartmouth Estate in order to provide West Bromwich with a park. It has been an important part of the life of the area ever since but declined in the latter part of the 20th century, not least because a new road divided the park from the town centre. However, it has since been restored to something of its former glory using heritage lottery funding.
