Priory Park

Residential area around a popular family park with play facilities and open green space

The area around Priory Park provides one of Locks Heath's main public green spaces, with a children's play area, open grassland and footpath connections to the surrounding residential streets. The park is well used by families with young children, dog walkers and residents seeking a green space close to home. The housing around the park is predominantly 1970s and 1980s family homes, and the streets closest to the park benefit from the green outlook and the recreational facilities. The area has a settled, family-oriented character, and the park provides a focal point for the surrounding neighbourhood. Community events and informal gatherings take place on the park during the summer months, and the play equipment is regularly used by families from across the village.
