Heaton Park Park in Manchester

   Heaton Park is just gorgeous. I absolutely loved it! It's so well-kept, with these huge stretches of green that are just perfect for a walk. You have to check out their little animal area, it's like a mini petting zoo with donkeys, peacocks, rabbits, and all sorts of cute birds. It's adorable. The best part for me, though, was seeing the Highland cows. They came right up close to us! It was such an amazing experience. If you're looking for a day out, Heaton Park is a must. It's great for everyone, wheelchair accessible, plenty of places to grab food and drinks, and even has public toilets and lots of parking space.

   Great experience at the Heaton Park northern lights show. Good for all the family especially kids, funfair at the start/end point was a good addition to keep everyone occupied.

   What a lovely park to visit where the grass stretches out into trees on all sides, covered in frost during the winter! Really nice to see some of the thick-leaved dark green trees and orange ones, benches are scattered around to take a seat for the views. The enclosed field is a strong addition with its areas surrounding the trees, Highland cows staying here is really cool!

   Plenty of parking at a reasonable cost. Great fun for adults, teenagers, children and toddlers! Scenic views, a small farm with helpful animals handlers who are happy to answer questions, well-kept grounds, boat rides, decent-sized play areas for children of all ages, a cafe, a resident ice cream van and charcoal pizza options. A good place to enjoy the great outdoors - especially on a sunny day!

   My go to place for long walks and a nice day off. Heaton Park is big and has lots of things to offer. You can go out for walks, picnics, lake rides, squirrel feeding and more. It also has a nice animal farm which is open most of the day. It's a good place for everyone: families, single people, couples, fried groups etc. You'll find something to do here for everyone. Parking is quite cheap, but it's free in the evenings. So it's ideal for summer walks in the evening to cool off. I love going out to feed the wildlife. The squirrels will be brazen enough to come and eat from.your hand if you're patient enough. Dogs might scare them off though. This is by far my favourite place within Manchester. It's well kept and tidy.

   Lovely place with lots going on. Plenty of nice green open space. Love the play area near the boating lake. Always very busy and lots of dog walkers. There are places to get a bite to eat, an ice cream van, Swan boats for hire as well as the animal area. The fair was also here. There was only a few spots left available in the lake car park and the maximum parking fee was £3 which can be paid by cash or card

   Fabulous free open space to walk around. Good parking facilitie. 4 Cafes, boating Lake with rowing or motor boats and pedalos. The family friendly animal centre is great for children of all ages. Tram rides are available and a tree top adventure section for youngsters is good fun. A poignant Somme memorial for WW1 highlights the long history of Heaton Park. Great picnic venue and the whole site is well signposted.

   Went on a windy cold January day and the park was magnificent!!! It’s only 4 miles from Manchester and on a clear day you can see the Mancunian towers and buildings from the hilltops. There’s a tram stop just beside it so very easy to go to. Wasn’t too crowded at all probably because of the wind. The animals were out and about enjoying the little sun they could find. The gardens are well kept. Some of the food stalls were closed but the cafe and pub were both open for food and drinks

   Absolutely worth the visit, layout was really good, you can see how much effort went into it. The water feature was amazing. Toilet and food stalls around the park made visit better. Little fair at the end. Would get 5 stars but paying £5.00 to £7.00 for parking is ridiculous!! Money that people could spend on their kids. Staff were helpful and jotted about the park. Pictures do not do it justice. Would go again but they should not charge stupid money for parking!!
