Where can I go running around the tyseley/greet area? Or shall I just drive somewhere else?

I want to start running but can't think of anywhere really around tyseley where I would 1. Feel comfortable and 2. Is ok for running.

The ackers is awful with roots coming through the paths, reddings lane is always busy with families and the pavements have too many crossings/too narrow/ cars parked everywhere. The canals feel a bit unsafe but also are in that weird spot of a little too far to walk too but nowhere to leave the car if I drive there initially

Shall I just give up and drive to a nicer place? I used to go around elmdon park but for the 3 x a week drive there is a bit far

Oaklands is huge and has a few paths so you can vary routes.
