This is without doubt the best park in Coventry, with plenty of activities; it was opened in 1921 as a tribute to all the soldiers from Coventry who lost their lives during the Great War (1914-1918)
There are so many things to do Tennis, Golf, Football, Bowls, there’s a Skate park, Children’s play area large Café and Aviary as well as Copper Beech lined avenues and formal gardens and of course lots of open space
It’s home once a year to the Godiva festival an extravaganza, of activities including live music. It’s also the finishing post for the Coventry Run each year a vintage car rally that features many of the famous cars that were manufactured here over the years
Open Dawn to Dusk

Whilst i prefere to see Birds in the wild, this is a great place to take the kids for a close up look at some beautiful birds which include the napoleon weaver, The Java Dove , The Chinese Quail and some Cockateals
The Aviary is well cared for , the birds are fed and watered every morning and are visited by the vet twice a year, or if they are ill.
The large cages also have heaters for the winter
