Picnic areas near me in Oldham

“Oldham Summer Beach 2022 Kids loved it! Recommend the wrist band so they can go on all the bounce stations without paying extra. No queues today even though weather really good. The fairground rides were cash prices additional as you would expect but the bouncy castles and slides were enough for my lot”

“Lovely little place to spend an hour just walking the humans. There are many paths to take, some easy and others more suited to us of the four legs persuasion. I definitely think I'll be taking my humans here again! Coffee and toasted sandwiches at the café are an ideal end to the walk!”

“A very warm welcome from all the ladies every time. The food is lovely from breakfast to curry and rice. Always busy.”

“Absolutely amazing flavours. The meat deal was top notch! Portions are perfect for the price! Loved every single item we ordered! Fast service and such friendly staff! Something for everyone on the menu. You will not regret it!”

“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 stunning spot is great for bird watching and a wonderful habitat There are bridle paths for horse-riding and clearly marked footpaths for ramblers or gentle family walks. Enjoy fresh air, woodland and wildlife!”

“My daughters wedding was fantastic, right from A.J. picking us up in the white Rolls from the local village. The venue is fabulous the food was excellent, A.J. & family & all their staff went out off their way to make the day perfect. To round the day off we stayed in one of their beautiful rooms overnight followed by a fantastic breakfast. Not one guest had anything bad to say about the day, i would recommend this place to anyone.”

“Ooo I've gotta lot of me.ories here!! Aghh so so sooo many!! We just went the other day too!! Once our friend fell down the muddy hill on a snowy wet day. It gets so muddy!!! The field is also cool but some man that maybe worked doing something there chased us across the field telling us to get off the grass kind of!! Also if you go through the bushes in the back there's like a tennis court I think is near in the waggon ways?!”

“Definitely make this park a place to visit! It has something for everyone and all ages. There is a playing field for rugby and football, a skate park with a half pipe and ramps. The gardens and paths are maintained beautifully but the absolute highlight is the community hub that they have at Waterhead Park. There is a well stocked cafe with friendly staff who are eager to make you comfortable and well fed and watered. But the jewel in the crown in the "veg in the park" gardening experience where all are welcome and encouraged to lend a hand, they have raised beds, flowers and trees, vegetables and herbs and an enormous poly tunnel where potting and seeding can take place, rain or shine. Again, the volunteers and staff do their upmost to make you welcome and a keen to share their knowledge and experience with you. All in all, a wonderful park to visit. 100% recommend it to all.”

“I've gone to this school from nursery all the way to year 6 and I enjoyed every single bit of it”
