War Memorial Park, Memorial park and Grade II listed garden in Coventry, England.
War Memorial Park spans 48.5 hectares of landscaped gardens, sports facilities, and commemorative spaces in southern Coventry, featuring a central 27-meter memorial tower.
The park opened in July 1921 as a tribute to 2,587 Coventry residents who died during World War I, with land purchased through public donations.
The memorial tower contains a Chamber of Silence with a roll of honor, bronze plaques for Victoria Cross recipients, and inscriptions from Laurence Binyon's poetry.
Visitors can access multiple parking areas from Kenilworth Road, Coat of Arms Bridge Road, and Leamington Road, with park and ride services available.
The park received Centenary Fields designation in 2014 from Prince William, making it the first protected memorial space under this national initiative.
