Only a short stroll from the centre of Helston is the large Coronation Park with its huge boating lake (swan boats for hire), childrens play amenities, skate park and cafe.

The accessibility of the site has been greatly increased for wheelchair users and people with visual impairment. There is a new car park with over 30 spaces (including a number reserved for disabled visitors).

From the park it is possible to walk down through the Penrose estate to Loe Pool and beach.
