Manchester's newest park features a challenging adventure playground with six slides woven around the daylighted River Medlock, 142 trees, wildflower planting, large lawns, and pushchair-accessible paths throughout. Free entry.
๐ Funzaroo Verdict
An outstanding park for families with children who can climb independently - the adventure playground is genuinely unlike anything else in Manchester. The river setting and landscaping make longer visits with picnics very enjoyable.

โ4 Stars is mostly for the play area as my daughter loves it. Probably her favourite park to actually play in after visiting so much when she was little and we lived nearby. The surrounding green area is ok, not exactly a green oasis in the city but nice area to see and see flowers, could be improved more which it looks like they're slowly doing. Good amount of security around to keep people and kids safe. Good toilet facilities. And during the summer it does become a nice hotspot and much greener. Love the stream running through as well. All in all a park which is has more potential but is a nice standout in the busy, tall city centre.โ

โAwesome park, never seen a park like this ever in my life. The whole area is really nice and good for a walk around. There's snacks and ice creams and coffees or tea available from the different shacks or ice cream van. Climbing frame is huge and really good for keeping the kids fit climbing to the top. Nice river runs through although it's not advised to go for a paddle you can sit and have a picnic next to itโ

โMayfield Park is a lovely spot - the playing area is clean, well-equipped, and perfect for kids, while the surrounding lawns and trees offer a peaceful, lush green view. Plenty of benches, shade, and open space for games or picnics. Great for families and a relaxing afternoon outdoors.โ
