Coventry on the Move in Parks
Coventry on the Move in Parks is a scheme that aims to make the city healthier by encouraging more people to get active in their park or green space.
The scheme started with the opening of a route around Stoke Heath Sports Ground. Since then the Council has rolled out installation of distance markers in 44 parks and open spaces throughout the city so that people can check how far they have been travelling.
The parks and green spaces also have new notice boards that the community can use for posting local information.
Anyone can enjoy the routes – so give them a try!
