Summerfield Park is a 25-acre municipal park in the Summerfield district, about two miles west of Birmingham city centre, with Edgbaston Reservoir immediately to its south. Opened on 29 July 1876 as the city's sixth municipal park, it has a bandstand built in 1907.
Birmingham City Council's dog control PSPOs govern this park, and they are more permissive than most councils on this site: leads are required on ROADS, ADJOINING FOOTWAYS AND VERGES, but that order EXPRESSLY EXEMPTS DESIGNATED PARKS - so a dog may be OFF LEAD here as long as it stays under control. Three limits come with it: NO MORE THAN FOUR DOGS per person on any public open land, dogs must be kept OUT OF CLEARLY MARKED CHILDREN'S PLAY AREAS and school land, and you must PUT YOUR DOG ON A LEAD IF AN AUTHORISED OFFICER DIRECTS YOU TO. Failing to clear up is an offence too. Breaches carry a fixed penalty notice. Assistance dogs are exempt from the play-area ban, and blind and some disabled handlers from the clean-up rule; the other limits apply to every dog. The current orders run to 18 October 2026, so check the council's PSPO page for their renewal.
