War Memorial Park — Attraction in Coventry

5 Stars As a photographer, War Memorial Park in Coventry is hands-down one of my favourite places to shoot. It's not just a park, it’s a beautifully kept, expansive space full of life, variety, and natural charm. No matter the season, there’s always something visually inspiring here, from wide open green fields and tree-lined paths to the bursts of colour in the flowerbeds and the lovely dappled light filtering through the trees.

What I particularly love is how much variety the park offers in terms of photographic backdrops. You can get everything from peaceful, almost woodland-like scenes to more formal landscapes near the war memorial itself, which adds depth and atmosphere to any portrait or candid shot. The symmetry around the memorial, especially in golden hour light, is a dream.

It’s also a great place for capturing relaxed, candid moments, there’s always movement, people enjoying their day, and real, honest emotion happening all around. Whether I’m focusing on landscapes, portraits, or just snapping peaceful details like light hitting the grass, this park always delivers something beautiful.

Highly recommended for photographers of all levels, or honestly, anyone looking to escape into a bit of calm beauty within...

Cycling, running, walking. These are just some activities you can do in this large park . With parking free and easy to accesses, this park has some fairly appealing advantages. But alas it’s mighty downfall . Dogs. Good dog owners are being let down here. They’re( the dogs) simply not trained and not leashed. Trying to run a quick lap ? Nope, enjoy being attacked by a K9. Want to have a picnic ? Well unfortunately a dog wants your pizza. (Not exaggerating. Have had food eaten by a random dog, no respect at all ) Maybe it will be fine if you are cycling . Whoops! There’s no leash! The dog would like to get in your way. Want to play any ball game? Tough, a dog without a leash is coming for you( well , the ball to be precise) . My advice is simple . If you don’t like dogs, come either really early (before 7am) or after sun set. There is simply no other way to avoid the dogs. ( remember in this park ,owners aren’t required to leash their dog- and sadly most dogs are not trained ,so...
