1 / 3John Leigh Park
📍 Altrincham, North West
Well-maintained public park in Altrincham featuring two separate play areas — one fenced toddler zone and one main playground — plus an aviary, dog walking paths, and sports facilities.
A great place to walk a dog. I've been going to john Leigh park since for ever. The path all round is a great little walk. It has two park areas for the kids. One for bigger kids then further round one for the younger kids which has a fence all around it. It has a small aviary. There are always loads of people there when it's a sunny day and the ice cream man parks up in it on warm days too. It has tennis courts/ football/ and basketball courts. It is a very popular place with dog walkers so not a place to go if petrified of dogs.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with a mix of ages, particularly those with toddlers who benefit from the fenced play area. Dog owners will find this one of the better local parks for walking. The main playground sits closer to the road with no fencing, so older children need supervision there.

“Nice park. Looks well maintained. Sections of garden with nice flower beds, a couple of kids play areas, plenty of benches to sit and enjoy the outdoors. A little aviary with some birds. Toilets which have certain opening times (should have take a photo, sorry!) Lots of dogs off lead, plenty of bins, maintained paths for walks.”
