Outdoor pool in Oldham

“Very great experience. Alexandra park is very family friendly and the air is also very clean. There are hiking paths. Car park. A cafe for quick bites with lots of attractions for both adults and kids.”

“The teachers are brilliant, and it's a great little swimming school!”

“Nice clean facilities..great staff..warm environment... Also gym, sauna too etc 10/10”

“Watched my granddaughter play basketball here. They are well equipped and fit for purpose. Ample parking. If anything, I would have liked a brew! Only a vending machine unfortunately.”

“Such a fun atmosphere great for all the family even do kids parties if booked in advance. Fab facilities worth a visit. I was never a gym person till I started there 5years ago made some lovely friends”

“Beautiful scenery, there were a little rocky/sandy beach too. Lovely day out. We walked about 5 miles. It has ups and downs, so the surface is not flat which we liked. There was a pay and display carpark but the security didn't let us in as it was full. We parked up the road. Free of charge. Went in beginning of August.”

“Country park in Royton with toilets, picnic areas, playground and cafe (only open weekends which is a shame) There's a largish car park but also parking on the approach road (if there's space).Lots of routes that are colour coded. Some are quite steep but if you have the strength to push a pram/wheelchair uphill the trails are wide and in good condition - mainly tarmac or hardcore. There are plenty of narrower trails off these for the more adventurous.”

“The best pub in the area! Great food and beer.”

“Daisy Nook is a lovely countryside escape tucked away in Oldham, just outside the city buzz of Manchester. It offers a peaceful mix of woodlands, canals, walking trails, and open green spaces — perfect for a quiet stroll, family outing, or even a bit of photography. The paths are well-maintained, and there’s a calm, relaxed atmosphere all around. There’s also a small café near the entrance for a coffee or snack after a walk. A great spot to reconnect with nature without going too far from town.”

“Really good park, well kept with a great play area for little ones. Nice to have a tennis court and kick pitch too.”

“Absolutely love Strinesdale foot paths and 2 large Reservoir's that allow fishing. It also has free parking and is that vast of a space you can walk round it and not bump in to anyone. Strinesdale also has a few picnic areas and amazing views out to the Pennines. There are 3 different routes you can take for that casual stroll or if you are looking to explore of the beat and track you can end up right in the hills and come out at a little farm house. All in all this is one of my favourite places to walk my dog and would recommend it to anyone.”

“This is a GEM! One of my happy places. The grounds are very well maintained and it's a delight to walk around.”

“Lovely place to stop off after a long walk and dog friendly great selection of food and cakes and very friendly people”

“Had a couple of beers here on a Friday evening. The guest beer was in great condition and the bar staff were really friendly. Plenty of parking next to the pub. Sports were being shown on multiple screens. Would recommend and visit again.”

“Lovely little park. It's great for kids and familes. Dog friendly. It's clean and tidy. And At the side of a rugby club. Activities usually are here in the summer so there is more for children and families.. There is also a carpark to use.”

“On a sunny day.. This place is fantastic. Lovely flat grass areas for sports. Running track that's free to use. Gorgeous river running alongside Trim track being built around the side (eventually) When it's wet though. It floods. It's muddy. It's puddly.”

“What a great evening! Second time our band (The Shivers) have played their. A huge crowd turned out to see us and we all had a fantastic time. Lovely people, fantastic staff can't wait to be back in November!”

“Brilliant night out. Very friendly pub. Good music and bar staff had excellent personality s. Best night out in a long time. Here's a pic.”

“We held our 4yo's birthday party there on a Sunday afternoon. The staff made the day so easy and carefree; we didn't have to worry about anything and could just enjoy the party with our boy. Staff were friendly, and helpful. All details were seen to, and for a reasonable per-child cost. All we had to do was provide a cake. Can highly recommend, though be sure to book well ahead of time to get your preferred party slot.”
