Trophy Competition
23rd July 2022
In pleasant weather, sixteen bowlers met to contest for the Friends Bowling Trophy. Through four rounds, bowlers were progressively eliminated to join the spectators until only Richard Halford and Steve Harris were left to compete in the finale. A close match left Richard as the 2022 holder of the Trophy. Once again, Carl provided impeccable administration.
1 June 2022
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.
28 October 2021
Kirsten joined a room full of toddlers to tell an Autumn story about Lottie the leaf, building up courage to jump from her tree and join her colleagues on the forest floor.
From the feedback we got, the whole morning was ‘fabulous’.
New Park furniture
January 2021
The waste bins on the Park have been replaced as a number had been pointlessly fire-damaged in recent times.
At the same time a bootscraper has been installed adjacent to the Football pitch to hopefully reduce the amount of mud spreading on the paths and around benches.

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.
Buggy Walk/
Stay and Play
A session designed specifically for Mums with babies in pushchairs, giving mothers the opportunity to exercise followed by a friendly session of coffee, biscuits and indoor toddler play.
