A brilliant new addition has been added to Coventry's War Memorial Park this summer - a land train. The War Memorial Express Land Train offers a whistle-stop tour of the park.

Also, the pop-up Golden Putter golf course will remain in the until towards the end of 2024 after a successful trial earlier this year. Emma Cosgrove, Visitor Centre Supervisor at Coventry City Council, explained: "The trial period has worked really well. It is a great addition to the park and I think many park visitors will be pleased that it is set to remain till September 2024.

“It’s an accessible course and the water features and natural planting all help with the way it looks. For an event space that is portable it is impressive."

Councillor Abdul Salam Khan, deputy council Leader at Coventry City Council, added: "In Coventry, we are very proud of our parks and green spaces. These new attractions are a great addition to the many free activities that visitors can enjoy at both The Memorial Park and Coombe Abbey Park and at our many other fabulous parks.”

The cost to try a round of mini-golf ranges from £7.50 depending on ticket class up to £43.50 for a family pass.

To use the land train, tickets are priced £2.50 for children and £3 for adults.

A walk around the park would do most people more good, not to mention saving them a few quid.
