About Stoke Green
Stoke Green is a large traditional open green off Binley Road in the Stoke area of Coventry, managed by Coventry City Council and free to enter. Lined with trees down the middle and around the perimeter, it is a classic neighbourhood green used for informal recreation, walking and play. Its children's play area, sometimes known locally as the Tick-Tock park, was created after a residents' group secured around £56,000 of lottery funding. The equipment is designed to appeal across ages: younger children can play on a train play frame, while older children enjoy climbing the ladder up a particularly tall slide or scaling the play frame and coming down the tube slide. An 800m trail on footpaths runs around the green, making it popular for walking and jogging, and the park benefits from an active Friends group that supports its upkeep and events. Open from dawn to dusk, Stoke Green is an accessible, well-used community space with a genuinely distinctive play area for families in the Stoke and Binley Road part of the city.
