Residents have been urged to have their say about proposals in the council's draft Local Plan, which could see the loss of open space off Auckland Drive.
The piece of land is one of several sites which have been earmarked for housing developments in the latest version of the document, which is currently out for public consultation.
Solihull Council has acknowledged that the loss of the playing field would need to be mitigated - in line with its policy for sports pitches.
But many residents remain concerned and are pushing for the proposals to be scrapped altogether.
The threat to the estate's green space previously caused a storm of controversy in 2016 and the row has been reignited by the publication of an updated document.
This week, locals have been asked to make their feelings known at a consultation event later this month.
The Cars Area Together - a local community group - has posted a video message stressing the importance of people speaking out.
The consultation event will be taking place at Chelmsley Wood Library on Thursday, February 28. Residents can drop-in between 3.00-6.45pm.
