Coronation Park children playarea

If you’re local to Helston, you already know Coronation Park is one of those spots that just does everything right. The play area sits right by the lake, so while the kids are doing their thing, you’ve genuinely got something nice to look at — and there’s a good chance you’ll spot some wildlife while you’re at it. There’s a skate park nearby for older ones, boating on the water if you’re feeling adventurous, and a cafe on site when you need a brew and a sit-down. Flat walking paths make it easy going with pushchairs, and the open grass field gives little ones proper room to run. Picnic tables, parking, baby changing — it’s all there, which makes it the kind of place you end up coming back to every weekend without really thinking about it.
