West Smethwick Park

The park is situated close to the town of Smethwick and is within 5 minutes drive of J1 of the M5. It has a number of features including a play area, fishing lake and sports pitches. The park has recently undergone a major refurbishment using local and Lottery funded money to create the new play areas with further work due in the near future. The cache can be accessed on well surfaced paths with only the last 30 meters being uneven.

The caches are a series of 6 and 1 bonus cache. Each one is placed in a park area around Sandwell in the West Midlands.  Each park has the normal children’s play areas with grassy or wooded surrounds. The parks are all located near residential areas and parking is available at all of them within the park or close by.
