Platt Fields Park manchester

Lovely picturesque park close to the heart of Manchester. Does yearly events, along with weekly groups. Has 2 play areas, a large boating lake (although I haven't seen boats on there in a while now) an apple orchard, toilets which are very helpful for families, BMX park, car park and there is normally always an ice cream van by the toilets/play areas

Peaceful and quite pretty depending on what time of year you go. It has certain festivals at different times of the year. Great for the young or the old.

Huge public park. That is decently maintained despite the challenges to the budget cuts... the park is split by a river in the middle and on the other side you will find Ducks a pond and zone for kids to play and also skateboarding set up.

You can expect a lot of cheap fun fairs that are amazing here. Completely recommend this park to a nature-lover or a family that’s trying to escape mobile phones and being on the internet all day.

Beautiful green place, gorgeous lake with an Island in the middle; watching the geese and swans is therapeutic. And the lake is great for riding or walking around. Loved the boat rides on sunny days, the ice cream van and the kids play area. There are also a few spots where you can picnic under the trees, on the tables or on tree stumps. A very nice all-in-one day out.

In Platt Field Park the Thai community holds the annual Thai feasible. This year was the 3rd time and the organizers have been lucky so far with Manchester weather every time. A good day to see Thai culture dance music, Thai products, hair and massage treatment, and a lot of stalls of them. Then the main in the event is the Thai food with plenty stalls of restaurants that came from all over the UK

A huge recreational Park with a pond, a playing area for kids and some benches. Perfect for a picnic on a clear day. Located within the city, it offers a welcome respite after the days work. Pet friendly too

Quite a big park with a big pond in it which is a good attraction. Toilet facility available too. Bins are placed along the tracks for disposing of rubbish properly. Sometimes gets too congested but generally a good place for your walk or spending a family day out with picnic or even you can do your own BBQ there.

Pleasant place to have a short walk. There is a nice lake to sit by and see the swans. Nice area for cycling and jogging

Lovely inner-city green space. Large enough for a run or picnic, popular with locals. However one point, I live locally and would not walk through the park at night.
