The Red House
Within the park is The Red House, a country house built in the 1841 for the then Liberal MP for Walsall, Robert Wellbeloved Scott, and stood in his 27-acre (11 ha) estate. Since 17 June 1996 it has been a Grade II listed building, statutory list reference: 5/110011 (179). It uses red bricks in Flemish Bond with stone dressings. It has a hipped roof with Welsh slates and brick chimneys.
Previously used as a convalescent home, the house was subsequently owned by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council and leased to the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers. In 2015, it was sold to a developer for conversion into apartments.
Obelisk
The park includes an obelisk, in memory of Princess Charlotte, which was restored in August 2009.
Cave
The Park is also home to two small tunnel like structures known locally, and referred to on maps as, Hermit's Cave.
