The Cosy Corner Day Nursery went along to the Huntingtree Hub for a storytelling morning with Kirsten. Everyone had so much fun learning about the Platinum Jubilee and some of the special people that help out at the palace. The children made their own crowns and even went on a scavenger hunt.
December 2021
Our Green Flag status has been renewed for 2021/22 due in no small part to the unstinting efforts of our voluntary litter-pickers who are on the park early every morning
keeping the park tidy and reporting any areas requiring attention.
Jean Wythes our senior litter-picker received a Kindness Award at a Borough-wide ceremony acknowledging her long-standing contribution to the Park.

Huntingtree Park
Huntingtree Park is situated in the residential area of Hasbury, a short distance from Halesowen Town Centre.
The park occupies about 9 acres of land between Huntingtree Road and Thornhill Road opposite Huntingtree Primary School.
More details including a map are available on the Park page.
The Friends of Huntingtree Park group was formed in 2006 to improve the park and change its run down
appearance. After a Consultation Day with local residents in 2008, a
Masterplan of improvements was approved by Dudley MBC.
We believe that by making improvements to the park we will
address anti-social behaviour, create a sense of community pride
in the park and increase the number of people using the amenities.
We are a voluntary group who receive great support for our
efforts from the local community, Dudley CVS, Dudley MBC and GreenCare.
Exercise & Socialise
Tuesday 1pm to 3pm
The exercise and socialise group meet at 1pm for a short walk
in and around the park returning for a welcome ‘cuppa’ and an
opportunity to knit, sew and chat.
All age groups are welcome to join and will receive a warm welcome.
Health Walks
Thursday 10am
Enjoyable walks on a Thursday morning through the scenic,
historic landscapes of Lutley, Uffmoor and adjacent localities.
Walkers follow the ups and downs of undulating terrain to
maintain personal fitness whilst enjoying distant views and
diversities of flora and wildlife.
Routes vary from week to week but most trails involve climbing
over stiles and negotiating stretches of seasonal mud, puddles,
boggy, rough or loose ground. Sensible footwear, clothing and a
drink is essential.
