Make the Transport Museum the main attraction, with tickets and any activity requirements checked in advance. The park is a weather-dependent second chapter.
A green break with a place for remembrance / COVENTRY
War Memorial Park, Coventry
Give a city visit a quieter outdoor chapter in War Memorial Park. A walk among the open spaces and memorial landscape can be a change from indoor galleries, while families can choose a play break instead of another museum. Let the memorial setting shape the pace and keep the route as short or long as your group needs.
Before you go
The park is outside the central cathedral cluster. Plan the transfer and chosen entrance before adding it at the end of a tiring day; facilities and car-park rules have their own hours and conditions.
The practical details
- Where to find it
- Kenilworth Road and Leamington Road, south of central Coventry
Directions and arrival information ↗ - Tickets and booking
- Ordinary park entry is free. The council currently allows three free parking hours, with charges after that and different ticket procedures by car park; follow arrival signs even for a free stay. Organised sport, events and café purchases are separate.
- Access and getting around
- The council identifies wheelchair access and Blue Badge bays at Kenilworth Road and Leamington Road. Plan the distance from your chosen entrance and check facilities; any vehicle access inside the park needs prior agreement, not simply a Blue Badge.
Official access information ↗ - Visiting with children
- Use play and open space to balance a quieter morning. Keep an eye on children near roads and sports areas, respect memorials and check current availability rather than promising every seasonal facility.
Practical information checked 15 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.
