Enjoy 20 acres of free urban green space in Ormskirk town centre with dedicated play areas for all ages, a skatepark, duck pond, and educational trails.

Coronation Park is a 20-acre urban green space located in the heart of Ormskirk, offering something for every member of the family. The park has been a cherished community space since 1903 and has held the prestigious Green Flag award since 2008, recognising its natural beauty and community involvement. Families can enjoy separate play areas designed for younger children (5-12 years) and older children (9-14 years), while teenagers have access to a dedicated teen zone and skatepark featuring a bucket swing, half pipe, grindrails, and spine box. Beyond the play facilities, visitors can explore a wildlife meadow, observe ducks at the pond, and use free outdoor fitness equipment designed for all fitness levels. Educational opportunities abound with two self-led trails: a phonics trail for younger learners and a Key Stage 2 maths trail (ages 7-11), complete with downloadable activity sheets and maps. The park also features a multi-use games area for football or basketball, bowling green, bandstand, and community pavilion. Additional amenities include wireless internet access near the bandstand and excellent accessibility by car or public transport, with nearby parking at Morrisons, Park Pool, and Two Saints Retail Park.

This is a lovely park with wide open green expanses, mature trees, a pond complete with sometimes comical ducks, a children's adventure play area, a bandstand, skateboarding ramps and an outdoor basketball court. The day we attended, the annual Medieval Festival was taking place. This hugely impressive spectacle culminated in a battle between Norman and Byzantine forces. Before that, you could walk among the many tents and displays, interacting with the living history reenactors as they demonstrated and discussed their costumes and weapons plus the food and textiles of the period from 1135 to 1215. Free on-street parking is very hard to come by near Coronation Park due to time restrictions and resident-only signs. However, there is ample paid parking nearby plus a Morrisons supermarket next door.

It is a great place for family's, dogs, teenagers, and more mature persons. There are benches that are place round and disabled parking close by in three car parks. The rangers are really friendly their office is in the bowling green buildings. There is a Friends of Coronation Park group who are really friendly too if you want to do some community volunteering.
