Lovely outdoor space, the distance of the perimeter around the park is about 1.3km which makes it perfect for counting your kilometer runs. The park is perfect for spending time with the family, it's got a public football astro, with basketball nets, low quality astro more like carpet but great for taking a fall whilst playing. There's a little skate park, to and a small park for the little kids with swings. The park is also resident to moorside rangers football club with their own 3g astro turf, with plenty of car park space..

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for active families with children who want to move between football, basketball, skating, and playground equipment in one visit. The flat terrain and pram-friendly paths make it accessible for all ages.

Overview

Moorside Park spans a generous green space in Swinton, offering public astro turf football pitches, basketball courts with nets, a skate ramp, and a children's play area. A 1.3km perimeter path is flat throughout and pram-friendly. The council maintains the grounds well, and the park draws a mix of dog walkers, sports players, and families seeking open space.
