Sutton Park is a large urban park located in Sutton Coldfield. Most of the park is a National Nature Reserve; large parts are also a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is the seventh largest urban park in Europe and the second largest outside a capital city. The park covers more than 2,400 acres, with a mix of heathland, wetlands and marshes, seven lakes, extensive ancient woodlands, several restaurants, a private 18-hole golf course on its western edge and a municipal golf course to the south, a donkey sanctuary, children's playgrounds and a visitors' centre. There is no entrance charge, although on summer Sundays a parking charge for cars applies. A wide range of leisure activities are undertaken in the park including dog walking, pony treking, bike riding and kite flying. There are areas to fly model aeroplanes and helicopters. 

The network of paths make it a hot-spot for runners, walkers and dog-walkers. The area is buzzing with both human and animal life.
