It was opened in 1887, and is listed Grade II in Historic England's Register of Parks and Gardens.

Brunswick Park was opened on 21 June 1887 by the Mayor of Wednesbury, Richard Williams, to mark the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

The main entrance is on Wood Green Road, which is the western boundary of the park; the lodge, of 1887, is adjacent to the gateway.

The northern part of the park is open, bordered by trees and with informal paths.

The former pit mound in the southern part was retained as a feature; it was landscaped and there are paths leading to the levelled-out summit.
