The sprawling park at the edge of Heywood with Rochdale is well maintained. We went today for Eid prayers organised really well, as usual, by the local two large mosques. Wonderful arrangements as usual with plenty of volunteers directing people for correct parking and to maintain order. Lots of people came as usual and volunteers had set up stalls for free water and snacks. All in all, brilliant.
Nice park, good play area for range of ages (we had 7yr old 3yr old and 1yr old all able to do things). Nice flat sections for scooters and bikes. Only downside was that it was full of litter
Free parking available inside the park. Great kids play area and climbing frames, they have little bird's nest's for the kids to climb in. Take plenty of seed to feed the ducks and geese. Plenty of open space for a picnic and there is a large Tesco just down the road for drinks and snacks.
A nice park to walk around and plenary to do with the children, little steam train rides (only operate on a weekend) the park area, fields to run around and the tennis courts too! Lost of areas to have a picnic or even sit and take a minute! Which you may need if you use the adult gym equipment!They past 12 months has seen the park used more than even and unfortunately lots of litter around with overflowing bins which is sad to see! The park in general is always kept and the grass is never overgrown!
Great outdoor open space for all ages they have a outside gym too, it has a massive golf course which can be used as a cricket, football, other sports and picnic fields which the beautiful stone path leads to. They have reasonable parking space. The park also had a tennis and badminton courses and a beautiful botanical seating area near the courts, the park consists of a lake with many ducks and swans. My chidlren love coming here so do I as its my childhood favourite
