Coalville Park is a beautifully maintained Victorian-style park established in 1899 and designated as a Centenary Field in 2018 to honour those lost in World War I. The park offers diverse recreational facilities suitable for families of all ages, including a dedicated children's play area, a skatepark for older children and teens, free tennis courts, and a multi-use games area.

The park has achieved Green Flag Award status, recognising its high standards of management and maintenance by the council's Grounds Maintenance Service Team. It features multiple access points from London Road, with helpful signage to guide visitors to facilities. A special highlight is the pollinator garden, specifically designed and planted to encourage bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects using native shrubs, wildflowers, herbs, and perennials. This award-winning venue is actively managed by the council in partnership with the Friends of Coalville Park group, ensuring continued improvement and community engagement.

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
