Manchester City Council

Parks, leisure and the arts Summary of our Update on Parks report

Key strengths we want to build on

  1. Expanse, variety and quality of landscape both designed and natural - from formal city centre parks to the woodlands of Boggart Hole Clough and the lake at Chorlton Water Park.
  2. Popular play areas: reflecting parks' importance in a neighbourhood.
  3. Lots of attractions in many parks, including: horticulture, walled gardens, historic buildings, monuments, sports facilities, community events, spectacular views, boating lakes and animal attractions.
  4. Excellent but untapped 'destination' parks which could drive a more enterprising way of doing things.
  5. Potential for staging events where appropriate.
  6. Communities who care - can we unlock the potential to improve parks through volunteers and partners, and through transferring or sharing responsibility?
