Coronation Park is a small urban local community park of approximately 3.53 hectares, located a short distance from Radcliffe Bridge near the town centre. It opened in 1900 (so presumably was named for the coronation of King Edward VII) having been created on land donated by the Earl of Derby http://friendsofclosepark.btck.co.uk/Thehistoryofourcommunityandpark . It is situated on a steep hill and has well-maintained footways. The park was used in the 1962 film “A Kind of Loving” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Kind_of_Loving_(film)#Awards (as “Beacon’s Park” where Vic meets Ingrid).
