Skate the quarter pipes and rails at the skate park, paddle out on a pedalo, or simply sprawl on the grass and soak up the community buzz. The monthly Farmers’ Market brings local flavours, while summer theatre and music performances turn the park into an outdoor stage.
Model boat enthusiasts flock here for special weekends, and the River Cober flowing through creates a wildlife haven that delights bird-watchers and school groups alike.
Steeped in local history since 1912 when it opened to celebrate King George V’s coronation, this fully accessible park has been hosting celebrations, fairs, and community gatherings for over a century.
Step beyond the park gates and you’ll connect with the National Trust’s Penrose Estate, leading onwards to Loe Pool – Cornwall’s largest freshwater lake and a haven for nature lovers. Your gateway to green spaces, local life, and endless outdoor adventures.
