Visiting Heaton Park during the Coronavirus pandemic
Things might look and feel a little different at the moment, but we are working hard to ensure the park stays open. However, we need your help: please adhere to the guidance and be patient with the current changes and guidelines.
The park is open from 8am until dusk.
Toilets
The toilet block near to Heaton Hall is available, from the time the park opens until 4pm weekdays and 6pm weekends, bank holidays and school holidays.
BBQs and litter
BBQs are not allowed in the park, and will be extinguished by our security patrollers. Please put your rubbish in the bins provided: if the bins are full, take your rubbish home.
Cafes
Our cafes at the Stables and the Lakeside are open and offer indoor, outdoor and a takeaway service.
