Nice area. Please add a bunch of pull up bars and dip bars. It's would make my life about 4 billion times better, I'll even pay for it 😭

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families living nearby who want a quiet weekday walk with a playground stop built in. The updated equipment suits younger children, and the natural setting rewards families who enjoy an unhurried outing. Visit on weekdays for the most relaxed experience.

I regularly take my dogs to the park. A lovely, mostly quiet place enjoyed by locals spoiled only by the odd trail bike.

One of the best parks in Bury, there are no facilities to speak of, toilet/ cafe etc but it's a great site for a wander and there aren't many people during the week. Look out for off road cyclists as the mountain bike trail crosses the footpaths at a number of locations

The park is popular with dog walkers and families seeking a relaxed outdoor visit. No café or toilet facilities are on site. Mountain bike trails cross several footpaths, so pedestrians should stay alert, particularly with young children.
