[[File:Beacon Park.jpg|thumb|[[Beacon Park]], in the city centre, hosts a wide range of community events.]]
There are many parks, gardens and open spaces in the city. The city centre park is [[Beacon Park]], which hosts a range of community events and activities throughout the year. Also in the city centre are two lakes, [[Minster Pool]] and [[Stowe Pool]]. The Garden of Remembrance, a memorial garden laid out in 1920 after [[World War I]], is located on Bird Street. Many other parks are located on the outskirts of the city: these include Brownsfield Park (no longer a park; now used solely for football), Darnford Park, Shortbutts Park, Stychbrook Park, Saddlers Wood and Christian Fields.<ref name=sssi>{{Citation| url = http://www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents.php?categoryID=200145| title = Lichfield District Council: Lichfield's Parks| access-date = 28 January 2011| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110928030847/http://www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents.php?categoryID=200145| archive-date = 28 September 2011| url-status = dead| df = dmy-all}}</ref>
