Perry Park has been closed off for two summers since Birmingham held the CW Games in 2022.
There are fears over the future of park services due a council's financial woes.
James Hinton, from the Friends of Perry Park, said they want the park restored as it is important to the community.In July, the city council put out a plea for public feedback to shape the £21.4m plans for the areas future, as part of its Perry Barr 2040 Masterplan for both the park and Alexander Stadium, the main location for events during the Games.
Mr Hinton asked what might happen further down the line as the council worked to balance its books amid a £706m equal pay bill, which has contributed to its financial woes. "But what that is going to mean is other services being slashed to the bone if they are not already, and parks are very vulnerable in that sort of situation."Liberal Democrat Councillor Jon Hunt, the ward member for the area, added: "The instructions are that quite a lot could cease to happen but what that is going to mean in practice I think is taking a while to work through.The authority said areas of the park were reopened as soon as it was possible to do so.
