Went to Inline skate and overall pretty good, up by the car park, circuit was very clean and smooth, a teeth chattering section of the at a service entrance and back to smooth. The largerly covered section of the circuit (city side by the cenotaph could do with resurfacing imo, runners, walker, cyclists would never know anything with smaller wheels here you just have to get through it as leading back to the tennis courts is back to smooth. Overall really good, plenty of space to move and not feel like youre having to dodge people.
View the historic 1927 War Memorial, explore the "Chamber of Silence," and walk among the 800+ memorial trees dedicated to fallen soldiers. And benches that are placed along the walk trail dedicated to passed away family loved ones.

War Memorial Park is one of those places that quietly does everything right 🌳✨ You’ve got peaceful garden areas for a calm stroll 🌿, a cool Japanese-style section that feels like a mini escape 🇯🇵🪨, and then suddenly… full-on chaos (the good kind 😄) at the playground with kids everywhere 🛝🏃♂️ The open space is massive 🏞️ — perfect for a run, a kickabout ⚽, or just lying on the grass pretending you’ve got your life together 😅☀️ And then there’s the big tower standing there like it’s watching over everything 👀🏛️ — adds a proper sense of history to the place. Honestly, whether you want peace, a workout, or to tire the kids out completely… this park delivers 👍🌟
Coventry War Memorial Parks is always a good place for a walk when in the area, I come alot and notice so many changes in every season. It really has alot to see and do and it’s very large, so room for everyone. Lots of play areas for children and tennis courts and other facilities. Nice well laid out paths, toilets and plenty of parking, free for 3 hours. Got to see inside the memorial building on a Sunday when they opened, staff friendly and knowledgeable.
