Parks and open spaces
Overlooked by the impressive landmark of Tamworth Castle, the
Pleasure Grounds have beautiful floral terraces in the Summer
months dropping down to the banks of the River Anker and open
grassland - ideal for walks and picnics in the Summer.
The bandstand is located at the top of floral terracing under
the Castle and in the summer brass band concerts are held each
Saturday (sponsored by Ankerside Shopping Centre) and Sunday
afternoon.
Combined with a visit to Tamworth
Castle, the facilities in the Grounds
are excellent for families with an extensive adventure play area for children aged 3 to 14, a
cafe, themed play area for under 6's (Treasure Island), river walks
and one of the highest standard public bowls
greens in the Midlands.
