About this event
We’re launching with a bang — come and be the first to play on our spectacular new giant painted floor mural, designed by local artist Lisa Curtis and packed with games for all ages. Race on our interactive running track. Discover the game pieces that the community helped make at our Play It Again workshop. See the bunting you helped create fluttering over the park.
The mural is free to play and here to stay — a permanent new addition to Coronation Park that families can enjoy all year round. The interactive running track will be in place all summer long too.
Today is just the beginning of a whole summer of free family fun at the park. Come and play. It’s yours.
With thanks to Helston Town Council for supporting Playful Park.
What is Playful Park?
Playful Park is our 2026 project transforming Coronation Park into a vibrant destination for family fun all summer long. At its heart is a spectacular giant painted floor mural designed by local artist Lisa Curtis — packed with games for all ages, free to play and here to stay as a permanent new addition to the park. Alongside the mural, there’s an interactive running track, community bunting-making, the Big Scribble (where you get to draw all over the paths!), a two-day games expo, busking from local young musicians, Play in a Day with the Minack, roaming Commedia dell’arte, Wake the Giant, a family sports day and much more running right through the summer holidays.
