Heaton Park

We are very lucky to have the beautiful Heaton park on our doorstep. It’s the largest municipal park in Europe. It is home to the Grade 1 listed Heaton Hall, landscaped gardens, an animal farm and acres of pastures with grazing animals. There are three cafes, a garden centre, golf course, treetop nets, boating lake, tramway and museum and 2 adventure playgrounds. It’s a lovely day out. There are many events on throughout the year including music gigs,  Park life festival and the weekly park run on Saturday at 9am - ParkRun
