★★★★★a month agoWhitworth Park is a lovely green space that’s perfect for a relaxing walk, spending time with family, or simply enjoying nature. The park is well-maintained, with open grassy areas, mature trees, and plenty of space for children to play. It’s a peaceful spot to unwind away from the busy streets and is great for picnics, exercise, or walking the dog. The surroundings are attractive, and the park provides a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages. A valuable community space that is definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area.

★★★★★2 months agoLovely and clean park . Next to The Whitworth gallery with beautiful exhibitions . We went to take early walks while we were on holiday and it was always full of squirrels who came to say hello . The park is just next to shops and bus stops which was very practical as well .
