The 30 Best Park in Manchester

“Ever meandered through Chorlton Park and missed the Tibetan cafe? Well, I finally gave it a go and oh boy, what a joy! Snug by the playground, it's perfect for foodie families, picnic punters, and anyone on the prowl for friendly faces and hearty portions! Tried the sha sha chicken and the momos, both worthy contenders, but it was the cauliflower stir-fry with rice and veggies that stole my heart (and stomach). This humble veggie is transformed into a showstopper so delectable, it might just compel you to write poetry. So, gather the kiddos, nab a sunny spot and get ready for a taste of Tibet that'll have you planning your next visit before you've even left!”

“Fitted our car in even though they were really busy, fixed same day. Will definitely use again. Thanks”

“Mo and Cat are so friendly, they make you feel at ease, they're kind, honest, reliable and will always tell you the best option to go with. No messing about, straight up good dentistry. Thank you so much for looking after me today. Mo, you're the best. xx”

“Customer service today was outstanding. I'm not a tradesman, I needed one small order. This is often a nuisance for staff in building trade. Not to these guys at eurocell Trafford Park. Treated me with genuine respect and real help. Thank you guys.”

“I'd just like to thank you all for making our day, and our first visit, such a pleasant and welcoming experience. Super kind and professional. I didn't get everyone's name but the names of the staff I did get and were super kind, warm and friendly were: Alexa Jake Arleanne Tyler A massive special mention to Aaron the chef as well. Really nice pizza, super friendly service with a smile and went the extra mile to make sure our son has a wonderful time. 11 out of 10 experience. 5***** time.”

“Visited 2/2/26. As a Disabled customer and I went on my own Firstly the hotel and restaurant are fully accessible. The entrance has a lift from street level and a button to call staff for assistance to operate the lift. Staff are very accommodating. There's a lift to the basement where the studio bar and lounge is located, it a jazz and singer style bar. Sophia was the most friendly and professional of bar tender The restaurant is a classic American bistro but in a refined and chic way and the food was succulent and favourful. The meat was *chef kiss. I highly recommend this place but male sure you book in advance.”

“Lot of really good places is Macc..plenty! Still, The Park Tavern has something special...probably the people in there, maybe some other stuff also...but it's just the Best!”

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!”

“I recently had my car repaired by Group 1 Accident Repair Centre and I couldn't be more satisfied with the entire experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism and care. They arranged to pick up my car for the repair, which was incredibly convenient. Throughout the process, I was kept informed with regular updates. Once the repairs were completed, they delivered the car back to my home. The whole experience was completely hassle-free. The team was friendly, professional, and clearly committed to providing top-quality service. Thank you, Group 1, for making what could have been a stressful situation so smooth and easy. Highly recommended!”

“If you like lake or that kind of water body, This place is a beauty. So serene. We picked some wild blackberries too.”

“Such a beautiful and well kept park that we went before and after the pub lunch! Well worth the drive from Manchester City centre. The dog loves it and so does the grown up child who loved a quick go on the swings!”

“Brilliant park, so much to offer. Crazy golf, tennis courts, bowling green, children's play area, nice gardens, train ride, toilet facility and shop. Lots of benches around to sit. Great for dogs, nice stroll or run.”

“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.”

“Nice area for walk, picnic, and get together. Views are awesome, 3 tracks for walk, including one middle of the lake. One side lake and one side river. Nice view of mountains and forest from parking side of lake. Lot of sitting places. Parking available 0.9 £ per hour, need cash or through App. Need some maintenance and cleaning.”

“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.”

“Nice for dogs and strolling around. Needs a cafe and public toilets”

“Love this park. Great for dogwalking and picnics with grandchildren. Best of all is the ice cream van that visits. The most delicious and creamy soft serve ever. Not overpriced and a lovely woman working in the van. Worth going to the park just to have it.”

“Peel Park was the first public park in the United Kingdom to be officially opened, with all funds raised from public subscription. It was created in 1846 and was free to use, connecting together all Salford residents .”

“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.”

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

“Spent a nice sunny Sunday morning here and had a really good time. Our dog was absolutely enjoying the space! We unfortunately didn't find an accessible path down to the river so that was a disappointment, but I'm hoping to be able to go down to the river the next time around. Definitely recommend a visit to the park. It's very well kept and serene.”

“A great location for a family walk. There's a free car park and small visitor centre/cafe. We did a full loop around the water before playing at the park. There were horses and donkeys in the field next to the car park and the kids enjoyed going up to the fence to say hello.”

“Nestled just outside the bustling city centre of South Manchester, the beautifully maintained Victorian public park is a true gem. Its picturesque landscapes and historic charm make it an ideal spot for both relaxation and recreation. The park is a vibrant hub of community activity, hosting a variety of events throughout the year. From lively fun fairs to bustling car boot sales, there's always something happening here. The spacious lawns provide plenty of room for cricket matches and football games, drawing in teams and families alike. Moreover, seminars at Chorlton Lodge offer a unique opportunity for local residents to engage in educational and cultural discussions. Walking through the park, you'll appreciate the well-kept pathways and lush greenery that pay homage to its Victorian roots. It's the perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll, a picnic with friends, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this park is a must-see destination that reflects the spirit of South Manchester. Highly recommended for anyone looking to connect with the community or enjoy a day out in a charming setting.”
