Malvern and Brueton Park
This park managed by Solihull council is at the heart of the town centre and just behind the the St. Alphege Church.Spread over 130 acres, the park welcomes the visitors with a lifesize bronze statue of a horse (supposedly Bucephalas, the horse of Alexander the Great). The park is lined with Oak trees, including the Giant Redwood tree and several conifer (pine) trees. You see a lot of people of all ages come to the park for morning walks, jogs, run, bicycling, skateboarding and tennis. They have regular 5K Park runs during weekends - a popular park activity. They also have the gruelling British Military Fitness programme, conducted in the most professional manner which is a one-hour exhausting session of running, sprints, push-ups, sit-ups, burpees and a game of football. I opted for the taster session with Carl as the BMF instructor. The camaraderie and support from the participants are truly remarkable. Enjoyed the session on Sat, 30 April, 2016 in Solihull.
