Coronation Park

During a recent trip to Ormskirk, I was walking past the area where Coronation Park is and realised that I’d never actually properly noticed it before. I’ve been to Ormskirk regularly for several years but mainly in the town centre area and so consequently had kind of forgotten Coronation Park even existed.
Perhaps it was just because it was a particularly nice day, but the park was buzzing with many people either lazing on the grass or playing football in the sun. The park itself is fairly large and manages to fit in both large grassy areas and lovely garden areas filled with plants and benches. There is also a bandstand halfway down the park which often hosts bands and a small skate park at the far end, making it a perfect stop off for young skateboarders.
Due to my experiences with Formby parks, I usually only associate parks with underage drinking and mouthy youths but Coronation Park managed to show me that they can be a lovely place to go and relax in the sun (on the odd occasion that happens).

Coronation Park is a fairly small piece of land in the centre of Ormskirk and is suprisingly a quiet getaway from the noisy traffic that surrounds its borders. There are several trees, velvety lawn and flowerbeds that are well taken care of as you sit down and just watch the world go by.
I find this a fantastic place to relax on a sunny day. It is a brilliant place to be with family and friends whether it’s for a picnic or a gentle stroll. There are a number of benches where you can just laze and perhaps read a book whilst you escape the thoughts of everyday life, albeit in a pleasant and untroubled area.
