Kings Heath Park

[1] For a time, the park was used as the setting for the popular ATV programme Gardening Today.

[2] The park is centred on a house, built in 1832 for the newly elected MP William Congreve Russell.

[3] These plans came to nothing, and on 9 November 1908 the Trust sold the house and half the surrounding land to the Kings Norton and Northfield Urban District Council.

The Trust sold the remaining land to Birmingham Corporation on 10 February 1914, and this was immediately incorporated into the park.

[3] In 2008/9, Kings Heath Park was granted a Green Flag Award for the 7th year running.
