Coventry Woods Park consists of 688 beautiful acres of mostly mature deciduous forest and is located in rural western end of the township.
Kenilworth Park is nestled in the historic village of Kenilworth in North Coventry Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Riverbend Park is a beautiful athletic park overlooking the Schuylkill River. The park offers three athletic fields (Anderson, Batdorf and Deegan), a pavilion, and a play area.
The park is divided throughout the neighborhoods north/south between River Road/Schuylkill Avenue and East/West Main Street; and then east/west between South York Street and South Penn Street.
Held annually in May at Coventry Woods, the festival is fun and games for all ages. Goat races, trail walks, food, crafts and games are all part of this fun filled day.
The bonfire is held annually in the fall. A great outdoor experience for all attending.
