Explore a beautiful Green Flag Award-winning park featuring play areas, formal gardens, orchards, and accessible facilities for all ages.

Denehurst Park is a stunning urban park with a rich heritage, having been donated to Rochdale in 1932. The park encompasses substantial surrounding gardens and is currently undergoing improvements to enhance existing features and create new attractions. Open daily and free to visit, it offers a diverse range of experiences for families and visitors of all ages. The park features multiple play areas thoughtfully designed in partnership with Redwood Special Education Needs School, ensuring accessibility for children of varying abilities. Facilities include a toddlers' play area with an accessible roundabout and double-width springer, a main play area, and a junior play area with a double-width slide and ramp access. Beyond play equipment, visitors can enjoy a formal garden, fruit orchard, stumpery, and wildflower areas that provide peaceful spaces for exploration and nature appreciation. Accessibility is a priority at Denehurst Park, with good tarmac paths connecting core areas including play zones and gardens. Three accessible parking bays are available off Edenfield Road, and the park provides ample seating throughout, including low-gradient timber benches. Guide dogs are welcome. The combination of recreational facilities, natural landscapes, and historical significance makes Denehurst Park an ideal destination for families seeking outdoor activities in a well-maintained, inclusive environment.

Unsafe, as muddy, oil in mud, and all rubber flooring is very slippery. Seen a few children slip on it in a space of an hour or so. Plus the dog with hat on promoting fine, why use human hat. With no holes at sides for dogs ears. As dog ears are very sensitive. On the plus side, love ❤️ the troll picking its nose, classic.

Great place for kids, try to avoid evenings as there could be elder kids who tend to group up and smoke which is annoying as it spoils it for the younger kids. Also feel sorry for the elder kids nowhere else to go, local community leaders, Councillors and MPs need to do something about this very sad spoils the area and future of these kids leading them into wrong stuff.
