My first time visiting the park earlier. I was surprised at how well kept it is, huge credit to the council workers and the volunteers. You should be proud!

Coalville Park has a small car park and good paths suitable for wheelchairs etc. Originally owned by the Coalville Athletic Club who donated it to the local inhabitants for free and forever.

Had a good cry this morning when I saw the metal statue of a first world war soldier in Coalville Park. Extremely moving. #soproudtobeBritish
