Green Spaces The War Memorial Park is Coventry's premier park and attracts visitors from all over the city. Many come to enjoy a casual visit, while others come to take part in some of the many special events that take place throughout the year. Approximately 48.5 hectares in size, the park consists of two distinct areas, the formal garden with the War Memorial and the sports facilities areas with playing fields, golf course, Splash 'n' Play Park and play areas. There is also a 1.6 mile circular footpath around the park. 
Coombe Abbey Country Park is close to heart of many Coventrians, the beautiful grounds were designed and landscaped by the highly acclaimed Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. The grounds have a number of attractions including the Heronry and Protected Woodland SSSI (Site of Specific Scientific Interest) which is a hive of activity for bird and insect life. With a huge playing field surrounded by masses of fir, confier, oak, beech and redwood trees, plus a hardwood children's play area and several open space clearings perfect for picnics, it creates that perfect atmosphere all year round. 
As well as Coombe and War Memorial Park, Coventry also has Longford
Park, Lady Herbert's Garden and Top Green offering plenty of space for
walks and relaxing, as well as continual plans to plant new trees along
the roadside on Brownshill Green Lane. Along many of Coventry’s highways are well maintained,
regularly cut grass verges and neat, clipped and shaped hedgerows, attracting neighbouring garden birds and
insects to thrive.
