Wythenshawe Park

Wythenshawe Park is excellent for a nice stroll or somewhere to take the kids or dogs. They have a number of different walks within the park. They also have a little farm but not had a look in there but I believe you can have a look at the animals. It is kept in decent shape and the grand house situated in the middle of the park opens its doors a number of times a year. It can get busy when the weathers nice so bear that in mind.

I used to go hear all the time with my grandma so have lots of memories for my childhood. I have just moved to the area so me and my partner took are dog on Sunday it was such a lovely day. We had a walk up to wythenshawe hall we didn’t go in though as we had the dog with us but we walked around the outside. We had a walk over to were the animals are, we also went near the barns where they have a little tea room and you can take dogs in there. It was just lovely walking round the park again and it’s worth a visit a nice park to take dogs or children as there is a kids play area.

Wythenshawe Park is probably the best in Manchester. The only downside is indicated by its name, that is, its in Wythenshawe. Its not the loveliest place and it’s a good distance away from anything else worth doing. If you’ve got a car though, or you live nearby, it really is worth a visit.
Its got crazy golf, a few nice pagodas, some woodland and even a 16^th century hall you can have a look round. Its also got The Courtyard Tearoom, which opened in Easter 2008 and is open every day from 11 in the morning till half 3 in the afternoon for lunch and teas.
If you look on the Manchester City Council website you’ll see that they give some hilariously embellished summaries of their parks and green spaces. The Hulme Park one is an absolute joke. Have a look at my review of it, honestly! On the council website they barely mention Wythenshawe Park and I cannot understand why. A really great place to spend a sunny afternoon.

For those of you that have driven to Manchester from the South, you will have undoubtedly been past the ghastly eyesore that is Airport Hotel. It’s not *that* close to the airport and isn’t located in the most well-​heeled of neighbourhoods. It’s right next to Wythenshawe Park — which is half the reason why I was so surprised by this large, well-​kept and family-​friendly park. I would agree with Angela that this is one of Manchester’s best parks, rivalled perhaps only by the mighty Heaton Park on the other side of the city.
With no kids, no car and no need to frequently use the NHS (touch wood) it is sometimes easy for people like me to wonder exactly where those hundreds of pounds of tax we’re paying go to. Luckily, parks are not something which Manchester Council seems to scrimp and save on. At Wythenshawe Park you can stroke miniature pigs, look around an old manor house, have a kickabout on the grass and a walk in the woods all for free. They also put on an awesome free firework display every Bonfire Night and the park hosts various other events throughout the year.

Wythenshawe is probably my favourite park in Manchester. It’s so vast and has so much to offer that you can’t fail to have a great day here in the summer, especially with a family.
As well as crazy golf, a horticultural centre and plenty of woodlands and paths to walk around, there’s also a community farm and the 16^th century hall to visit free of charge. For the sportier types there’s tennis courts, bowls, football pitches, horse riding and a racetrack.
My favourite thing to do here though is walk. The landscapes here are tremendous, from ornamental woodlands to beautiful wildflower meadows. After that I love to sit in the new courtyard tearoom at the rear of the hall and read a book. Heaven.

Great, big, historic park in the midst of Europe’s largest council estate. Plenty to offer anyone — tennis courts, a running track, pitch and put, a small farm — it literally has everything. One downside: everything is a rip-​off!

There are a few decent parks in Manchester, and Wythenshaw Park is definitely one of them. It is situated quite a way out of Manchester, nearing the airport, but the distance is worth travelling for such a good park.
There is a small car park here, and parking costs £1, but you could easily spend a day here when the weather is nice.
There is a pitch and putt course, crazy golf course and tennis courts all can be used for a small fee. Clubs are available from the small park shop, which also sells ice creams and soft drinks.
The park is set in quite large grounds, and there as well as admiring the surroundings you can visit Wythenshaw Farm. It is free to enter and worth stopping by to see the cute piglets, cows, ponies, and birds. There is also a walled garden at the back of the farm yard which is lovely to wonder around.
Wythenshaw Park is great to take small children to, as there is a gated play area.
Overall, it is one of the better and safest parks in the city in my opinion.

I love Wythenshawe Park in my opinion it is by far one of the best parks in Manchester!
It’s a bit of a way out heading towards Manchester Airport, but the park itself is very well kept. There is even Wythenshawe house there for those who prefer a bit of history.
The park has many attractions a pitch and putt course, tennis courts, a farm yard (which is free to visit) and a large play area for children. At the tennis courts there is a small shop which sells drinks and snacks.
Parking costs £1, but it is well worth it as it is a lovely park.

This is certainly one of Manchester’s best parks if you have kids to entertain. The farmyard is free to get into, and houses a wide range of animals; hours of fun to be had looking at the little piglets! There’s a large play area, crazy golf and tennis courts, as well as a café and ice cream stall. Great for a Sunday picnic.

Wythenshawe has drawn its fair share of opinions over the years, from the largest council housing estate in Europe to one of the outstanding examples of English municipal enlightenment
This is a barnstormer of a park, 270 rolling acres featuring a medieval hall, firework and bonfire displays, games areas, crazy golf, petanque, athletics track, all manner of volunteering activities and more.
In truth, however, this park is quite divorced from Wythenshawe, physically split from the M22 postcode by the chasm of the M56/​Princess Parkway.
Most Wythenshawe residents would find it a bit of a trek, but Benchill and Northenden dwellers are well placed for this great Mancunian gem
