Swanswell and Nauls mill parks (to name two) are shadows of their former selves despite money apparently being spent on them. Most parks in Coventry are lucky to have the grass regularly mown these days, and other 'green' areas (local grass patches in streets etc.) often go 6 weeks between visits from the 'parks' department.

What are the rest of the parks like? I've only ever experienced a bit of the War Memorial Park - walking from the Park & Ride to the city centre, and it seemed to be ok - but that's all I've seen.
