This is the most beautiful and big park in Oldham town. A top choice if you want to relax out in the nature and want to see different species of flowers, trees and animals, take pictures near the lake and admire the landscapes. The park also has several tennis courts, a playing ground for children too, lawn ball game courts, and plenty of benches for sitting throughout the whole park.
Great park, went a lot in my youth. Really nice cafe (but no hot food on a weekend park run day), but nice cakes, smoothies and drinks. Park was full of people chilling in the sun, doing tai-chi, capoeira etc, watched a proper cricket match with two teams in whites. Had a lovely afternoon.
Beautiful park with great facilities and lots of wildlife, lovely all year round but especially stunning in the spring when the bluebells and wild garlic are in bloom, and the ducklings are still tiny and fluffy. The public toilets in the cafe are always clean and in good working order, including a wheelchair accessible and gender neutral stall with baby changing table, and the cafe itself serves great food and coffee/tea all year round. There are multiple children's play areas and grass football and cricket pitches, and bookable tennis courts too.
This park is beautiful with cherry blossom. The staff at Chorlton Lodge are very kind and friendly. It's good for family gathering snd solo jogging.
Alexandra Park is a solid option if you’re after a calm, easy walk rather than a big “wow” moment. It’s fairly spacious, well-kept, and good for clearing your head or getting some steps in. While it’s not the most exciting park and can feel a little dull at times, that quietness is also part of the appeal - especially if you want somewhere peaceful and uncrowded. The paths are straightforward and suitable for a relaxed stroll, light exercise, or walking with company without too much distraction.
