Bantock Park occupies the triangle formed by Broad Lane, Finchfield Road and Bradmore Road. Bantock House and Museum are towards the eastern corner of the park. This view from the eastern half of the pitch and putt course looks towards a row of fourteen late Victorian semi-detached houses in Finchfield Road. Football pitches and a children's play area are also available. The city council's website informs us that the park is approximately 16 hectares (39.53 acres) in area. The west of the park is mostly open space, which still retains its 'rural' character, with gently undulating ground, hedgerows and a variety of trees with a nature trail. The eastern side of the park changes near Bantock House, becoming more formal. This area consists of a series of recently restored gardens, reminiscent of the detail emerging around the late nineteenth/twentieth century. The park was originally a farm owned by the Bantock family. The house and land, comprising 16 hectares, were bequeathed to the corporation of Wolverhampton (for use as a public park) on the death of the Alderman Albert Baldwin Bantock in 1938.

A rather 'non-standard' benchmark cut into the wall near to 43 Finchfield Road; if this is indeed the original OS mark, then it was levelled at 129.266m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn.
