[edit]The park was once former colliery land in Coseley that was obtained from the Earl of Dudley in December 1930 and turned into a public park.[1]
It was named in honour of King George V's Silver Jubilee in 1935 and was officially opened on 28 May 1936 by the chairman of the Parks and Open Spaces Committee. King George V had died only four months before the park was opened to the public.
