West Smethwick Park is a public park in the St Pauls ward of Smethwick, England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parks in Smethwick )〕 It opened on 7 September 1895. Smethwick - and thus the park - was traditionally in Staffordshire, but has been administrated by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, as pert of the West Midlands county, since 1974. In June 2015, it was announced that a £4.8 million Heritage Lottery Fund grant had been reserved for the park, subject to final approval. It would allow for the restoration of the pavilion, bandstand and memorials. == Memorials ==
The park features a memorial, in brick and terracotta, with a bronze bust, to Sir James Timmins Chance, a partner in the nearby glass-making firm, Chance Brothers. Chance purchased the land for the park. Beneath the bust is a plaque reading: A stone drinking fountain commemorates John Chance, chairman of Chance Brothers, who died in November 1900.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Handsome memorial in decline )〕 There is also a memorial to Ft Sgts Cox and Preston, who crashed nearby on 31 July 1944.
