Enjoy diverse recreational facilities including a dedicated play area for young children, sports pitches, tennis courts, and an extreme sports facility in this community-focused park.

Alexandra Park is a well-established community recreation area split across both sides of Victoria Street in Newton, Wigan. The park offers comprehensive facilities catering to families and active visitors of all ages. One side features two bowling greens and a pavilion, while the main section includes a dedicated play area for children aged 0-12 years, informal sports pitches, two tennis courts, and an extreme sports facility. The park serves as an ideal destination for families seeking free outdoor activities, whether enjoying the playground, practicing sports, or simply relaxing on park benches. Dog walkers and families with pushchairs regularly use the park for informal recreation. Throughout the year, Alexandra Park hosts various community events that bring locals together. Beyond leisure activities, the park benefits from strong community involvement through the Friends of Alexandra Park group, which works to enhance the space through wildflower meadows, community gardens, and maintenance initiatives. This volunteer-driven approach ensures the park continues to meet local community needs and remains an inviting public space.

Very basic park, not much to do. Very limited playing equipment for the kids age 6+. Excellent for dog walking though. Big spacious field to play ball or cricket. Conveniently located close to us with both bus stops on each side.

This is an great place brings back old memories when i was younger, I loved taking my Nephew here he loves it. An little kid park and an big park is equal to all children and also an skate park. I only rate this 3 stars because of the litter around the area, Theres glass and all other things, And alot of older people drinking beer on this park.

Facilities are great and open spaces...but teaming with litter...ive just collected shards of glass...broke bottles..crisps packets...Cigarette ends....shame that trashy people turn places into their trashy ways..there's bins located around the area...use them...think about dogs cutting their paws...or kuds falling face down onto glass....respect our outdoor spaces
