Small Heath Park was officially opened to the public in 1876.
The park land was originally part of a private estate before being purchased by the Birmingham Corporation for community use.
It is a frequent host of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha celebrations, which attract tens of thousands of visitors.
The site contains a preserved Victorian-style bandstand that reflects the historical recreational design of 19th-century urban planning.
