Smelly Oak Park

In a bid to deter deer from damaging trees in the park we have treated a number of the damaged trees with a combination of clove oil, almond extract, pepper dust and flowers of sulphur - quite a smelly combination. Lets hope it works. Treated trees can be identified by the pale yellow deposit on their bark.

Green Flag

We are delighted with the news that Selly Oak Park has been awarded Green Flag Status following a comprehensive assessment earlier this year. We thank Birmingham City Council and Quadron Services for their hard work in preparing the park for its inspection and for keeping the park in good condition all year round. We also thank our partner groups, Ariel Scouts and Lapal Canal Trust and all users of the park for their support.
