Pelsall Common
The site is a large and well-used open space in the centre of Pelsall. It has flat, grassed sections that are suitable for sports activities, carnivals and fairs. Heath End pool, on the south western side of the common, is in an area left unmown for biodiversity. The area is split into four sections by the B4154 and Vicarage Road.
There is a Friends of Pelsall Village Common Group on facebook.
