Water park in Manchester

“Fantastic park. Well-maintained, excellent facilities, onsite cafe & great wine/farm shop. Suitable for all ages. Woodland, open green spaces and a gorgeous lake with water fountain. This park has it all. Astley Hall is also a beautiful building and looks amazing after the refurb. We had a great night for the fireworks (pictures attached)...a little muddy under foot but that's expected after a wet week. A brilliant urban park.”

“This is a lovely park I highly recommend coming here for an afternoon out. The play area is small but perfect for small children. The park its self is beautiful, well kept and no litter. We met quit a few dog walkers who were all lovely. This park is definitely worth a visit we will certainly be coming back.”

“Really nice park with playgrounds, free car park, dry walk paths, as well as trails. We enjoyed walking our dog here.”

“lovely park to visit all year round, even better in autumn with the falling leaves”

“Great house to visit. Fascinating history and great interior and good walks. Odd cafe system forced us to eat a meal outside but could have eaten inside if we had only had cake. So Odd!!!”

“Great place. Our two kids loved it. Nice big play area and several different walking routes. Toilets and small cafe in the car park.”

“Lovely little cafe, had a walk in the park with my family then found the café very friendly and warm, staff are many adults with learning difficulties which was so lovely as my youngest son has Downs syndrome. Food was good and the coffee was hot, my son enjoyed the freely available paper and pencils”

“Such a nice walk. See the lake, ponds and resivoir. Lots of different paths to take. Walked through the cow field with no bother at all and petted the horses. Some lovely views.”

“This is a lovely park, not massive but very well kept with a couple of car park options if driving to it. The park has a lake which can be walked round, and grassland which when we went had sheep and lambs wandering around. Its a nice area, if you are expecting a long walk however, you'll probably need somewhere much bigger - but great if you have small people or just need to take dog out for a stretch of the legs!”

“This park has a great bakery called pollen, worth a visit for fresh pastries, bread and good coffee. There's also a brewery next door called cask now the weather's better, for a drink in the sun. Great spot for a run or just sitting outside and watching the world go by.”

“Visited with relatives from Bolton on New Year’s Eve, good to see so many people out on a mild dry day. Got some coffees an Ice Cream from the Ice cream van. Nice coffee at the van. Great treat for the family. Good walk around the pond kids loved feeding the ducks.”

“I had a private session with my kids learning to kayak and we really enjoyed it. The instructor was patient, made the time fun with games and I'd recommend it to anyone. I'd certainly book again.”

“Easy to get car slot and travel to Manchester city center.”

“Stamford Park getting ready for Spring time. Lovely walk in the park today, great to see the children enjoying the sunshine. The children’s play area is always very popular. Great tennis courts and plenty of room for adults and children to run wild and enjoy the fresh air.”

“Love this place. It's great to get out for fresh air. It's clean. Every one is friendly, all those that we've come across anyway. It's great to spot all the different birds, see the squirrels and even the rats in their natural habitat.”

“Beautiful park with a lovely duck pond, a hidden wood, a great running path, and lots of open spaces and public spaces. Only thing is it can feel quite unsafe when it’s dark”

“Great park for the kids. Large play area with lots of fields for children to play football etc. Lots of squirrels to feed too.”

“When not in covid, Perfect place for young ones to kick a ball, throw a Frisbee. Large enough to socially distance, and a nice woodland area to walk around. About 1km to walk around the outside, with some picnic tables and in the summer, a chip and putt course.”

“This a a very well kept public car park. The lifts are clean and the attendant can often be see walking around on duty. Last month I miss placed my phone and when i rang it a kind gentleman answered only to tell me I had left it on the pay machine. He had it in his office waiting for me. When I arrived back the gentleman Patrick was very polite and opened the barrier so I don't have to pay for the car park again. He is a Real treasure, lovely meeting you Patrick. Keep up the good work.”
