The free event, which runs from 11am to 3pm, will see the park transformed into a series of interactive themed play places aimed at children aged up to 12.
For the younger visitors there will be a Toddlers Village featuring activities provided by the city's children's centres including messy play, storytelling, singing, arts, crafts and nursery rhymes.
And for the more adventurous, attractions include an area where children can make their own dens or tackle a low ropes course with cargo nets, traversing ropes and rope swings. There is also a cycle route around the park, a cycling assault course and specially adapted bikes available for those with disabilities.
Children can practice their circus skills with skipping ropes, parachutes, hop scotch and hula hoops in a free play area or toast marshmallows in the outdoor cooking space.
The Playday event has been organised by the city council's Play Service, children's centres and Early Years team, and there will also be a range of stands offering information and advice to parents.
Councillor Val Gibson, Wolverhampton City Council's Cabinet Member for Children and Families, said: "Our city's commitment, through staffed play facilities, to a child's right to play dates back to the 1970s and we are proud to be supporting the annual Playday with this magnificent free event for children and their families."
