Coventry Peace Park

Coventry PEACE Park is a community park and playground in Cleveland Heights' Coventry Village, next to the Coventry Village branch library. It began in 1991, when the PTA of the neighboring Coventry School asked students to draw their dream playground. The group became Coventry People Enhancing A Child's Environment, or Coventry PEACE, and raised nearly $300,000 through bake sales, benefit dinners and performances; volunteers built the park barn-raising style in October 1993. Heights Libraries bought the six-acre PEACE campus in 2018 and reopened a fully renovated park in 2025, with a cardinal climbing structure, zipline, bandstand and storybook trail.
