There's a lot to do for kids at Spencer Park in Earlsdon!

Spencer Park Earlsdon | Kids Play Areas in Coventry

Spencer Park is divided into two halves by Spencer Avenue. On one side of the road is a large triangular open grassed area, bordered by a beautiful avenue of trees, and overlooking the rear of King Henry VIII School. On the other side of the road is the smaller park, more formal in design, with formal flower beds and lawns. In the summer this half hosts events such as the Bands in Park concerts.

Children's Playground

The old tennis courts area at the Broadway entrance to the park has been reinvented into a fun playground for kids. Friends of Spencer Park have raised funds for a range of playground markings, which is proving very popular amongst children of all ages.

There is a maze, hopscotch, snake, obstacle course and a road around the edge!

Teen Area

Central to the open grasses area is a basketball hoop and a tyre swing, suitable for older children to enjoy.

Tennis at Spencer Park

If you would like join the Community Tennis Club, see the Tennis page. There is also children's tennis coaching available.

The Pavilion

The long-term plans for the pavilion are still in the consultation stage, proposals include a multi-use community space and perhaps even a community café.

There are public toilets within the pavilion.

Bowls at Spencer Park

If you are interesting in playing bowls on the flat green, please email Friends of Spencer Park for more information. Groups are especially welcome.

Keep Fit at Spencer Park

The perimeter path of Spencer Park is almost exactly a quarter of a mile. So … four times around the park and you’ve done a mile! That’s equivalent to around 2000 steps.

If you fancy something a bit more challenging, check out the new 1km marker posts around the recreation ground. They are 100m apart and mark out a full 1km lap. More details are posted in the new notice board on Spencer Road.

The Friends of Spencer Park group does an excellent job of maintaining the park and its facilities. You can follow their Facebook Page for regular updates.
