Details
Coronation Park (Millbrook Park) is a cherished public space on Jersey’s picturesque south coast, nestled in Bel Royal, St Lawrence, opposite St Aubin's Bay. Gifted to the island in 1937 by Lady Florence Trent to commemorate the coronation of King George VI, this well-maintained park beautifully merges historic garden charm with modern recreational facilities. Its expansive, peaceful setting offers a calm retreat, inviting visitors to enjoy its vibrant flora and tranquil atmosphere, distinguishing it as a premier family destination with free entry all year round.
The park boasts two extensive playgrounds, thoughtfully designed with separate areas for children under five and for older children, featuring traditional equipment such as swings, slides, and a notable climbing frame. During the warmer summer months, a delightful water play area and an outdoor paddling pool become popular attractions for cooling down. Visitors can also take advantage of a large grassy area, perfect for picnics, alongside an on-site café for refreshments, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely day out.
This accessible park caters wonderfully to families and individuals of all ages, providing a safe, traffic-free environment for children to play and explore. It is perfectly suited for those seeking a relaxing afternoon away from the beach, an energetic outdoor adventure for youngsters, or a pleasant spot for a picnic amidst verdant surroundings. Coronation Park's enduring appeal lies in its thoughtful combination of recreational facilities, green spaces, and its accessible location, creating a welcoming hub for the community and tourists alike.

It caters for adults with seating & children with an outdoor waterpark, plus there's a lovely bandstand to shade from the sun.
There is also a wonderful story book trail that provides a diversion.
If you have a couple of minutes nip into St Matthew's Glass Church with its unique Lalique design throughout & right next to the park.
The park has four different areas: one for toddlers up to 6 years old, another for slightly older children, a water park that was renovated last year (though it occasionally has issues with the water, it's usually on during warm days), and a green area for picnicking or nice walks.
There is plenty of parking space available with yellow disk parking and on the avenue, where you need to display a parking ticket from April to October (Sundays are free of charge).
The park has one cafe that serves homemade pizza, hot dogs, various snacks, drinks, and ice cream. Not far from the park, there's a petrol station, a kiosk, a takeaway, and a Morrisons shop.
Water part opens at 10am
