Stephen McCallum, aged 38; David Hammond, aged 39; and James Bond, aged 58; were found guilty of violent disorder at Wolverhampton Crown Court over the confrontation at Doe Bank Park in Pheasey in Great Barr on May 28, 2023.
The violent brawl between two groups of men and women, white and Asian, was part of a dispute, part of which was captured on video, which began when adults reacted angrily to a child squirting water at a family on a sunny summer's day.
A verdict on further charge of affray concerning the incident could not be reached.
However, McCallum was also found guilty of wounding with intent and carrying an offensive weapon after attacking a man during the melee with a metal pole.
