6.5-acre urban park with a children's play yard featuring 6 slides, ground trampolines, and multi-level climbing, built around the newly uncovered River Medlock. Free entry, 5 minutes from Manchester Piccadilly.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with children from toddlers to pre-teens who want a genuinely innovative playground within easy reach of Manchester city centre. Ground trampolines and multi-level slides offer more than standard play equipment. The river wildlife adds a natural discovery element. sparse rain shelter means it rewards dry weather visits.

“Such a lovely park. I went when it first opened and the weather was nice. It was clean and safe. There was a security person and there is no smoking which I love. Just been back a couple of years later and altho it was not the best weather, the park is still outstanding. I don’t live locally but it’s a 5 min walk from Piccadilly station. Totally accessible for everyone and anyone. Coffee/refreshments available on site and Freight Island next door for food hall”

“One of our favorite urban parks. Playground has great elements - cool slides at different levels, ground trampolines, climbing and balancing surfaces and space to run and chase. The adjacent green space was nice for walking with bridges, grassy areas and a stepped grassy hill for rolling down. Clean toilets, law enforcement officer on site and an ice cream truck with a friendly operator.”

“Fantastic park in a usual place, but it's been made beautiful ! It's great to see wildlife in the middle of piccalilli ! We saw an otter in the stream ! The park is fantastic for all ages ! The added bonus of a coffee cabin, ice cream van, toilets, and benches overlooking the green space. Little piece of paradise in the city !”
