Within the park is 'The Red House', a
country house built in the
1841 for the then
Liberal MP for
Walsall,
Robert Wellbeloved Scott, and stood in his 27-acre
estate. It is now a Grade II
listed building.
Previously used as a
convalescent home, the house is now owned by Sandwell
Metropolitan Borough Council and leased to the
British Trust for Conservation Volunteers, but is in a poor state of repair. The council proposes to sell it for development as private apartments, but this is opposed by nearby residents.
Obelisk
The park includes an
obelisk, in memory of
Princess Charlotte.
Cave
The Park is also home to two small tunnel like structures known locally, and referred to on maps as, Hermit's Cave.
