Explore free green space featuring children's play areas, historic castle ruins, outdoor gym equipment, and walking trails across Coventry's valued area park.

Caludon Castle Park is a free public park located three miles east of Coventry city centre, offering a valued green space experience for families and the local community. The park features two scheduled ancient monuments recognized by English Heritage, including the Grade 1 listed remains of Caludon Castle, which dates back to the 12th century. Visitors can explore the historical features including the remains of the banqueting hall and evidence of a historic fish pool. The park is informally divided into different zones catering to various activities and interests. The eastern section includes a children's play area suitable for younger children, a dedicated teen's area with youth shelter, and a multi-use games area for five-a-side football, basketball, netball, and tennis. The western and northern sections preserve the historical features and provide access to walking and jogging trails spanning 1300 metres. Families visiting with children of all ages will appreciate the diverse facilities, including outdoor gym equipment and expansive green spaces. The park is annually entered for the Green Flag Award, a nationally recognised certification demonstrating excellence in park management, community involvement, and sustainability. Opening hours vary seasonally, with extended hours from May to September (7am-9pm) and shorter hours October to April (7am-5pm).

Fantastic park, how many parks can say they have a castle in them, wonderful piece of history. Great facilities for everyone, all weather courts with flood lights, gym equipment, kids play area, tarmac path the whole way round which is great for walking.

The car park is small but free. The park is not big, but plenty things to do, you can play soccer and basketball, you have an outside "gym" and a play are for kid that is well maintained. If you are passionate about history or photography you can examine the ruins of Caludon Castle. I recommend to visit it if you are close.

Recent host of a few events. The park has been looked after in recent years. The expansion of the play area and it given a medieval theme has been lovely. New tennis courts and an outdoor gym area. Plenty of grass and a path that runs the perimeter. Local history site. Caludon Castle is host to many a legend and story. Including those of St George and William Shakespeare. Worth a visit on a nice day, bring a picnic, the kids, the dog...
