New Hall Valley Country Park is a

New Hall Valley between Walmley, Wylde Green and Pype Hayes in the Sutton Coldfield area of north Birmingham. It is the first new country park in the UK

for over a decade. The park is split into "phases".

It was created in 2005 by Birmingham City Council with funding raised from the release of land for the New Hall Manor Estate development and formally opened on August 29, 2005.

The park covers over 160 acres (0.6 km²) of designated

corn mill. This is one of only two working water mills surviving in Birmingham water mills in Birmingham, with the other being Sarehole Mill in Hall Green. It has been restored and is open to the public on certain days or by prior arrangement. Bishop Walsh Catholic School

borders the land, with the school's playing fields running adjacent for nearly 1.5 miles.

The park also includes a network of cycle routes and footpaths (52°33′03″N 1°48′25″W / 52.550930°N 1.806816°W / 52.550930; -1.806816, a plant nursery, a nature conservation site and two play areas for children.

The park is crossed by Wylde Green Road, which links Walmley and Wylde Green at either end. This road was crossed by a ford until around 1967.

Coopers Wood,

Crack Willow, may fall onto people using the paths that have been driven through them.^{[citation needed}
