Buile Hill Park

Great place for a dog walk, a kickabout or for the playground. There is a hall here which unfortunately looks rather in need of some TLC. The two playground areas are well kept and popular. The park is easily accessible from the city centre by bus or car, and from the A666 too.

Great for running and dog walks, clean and wide pathways with no uneven surfaces.
Plenty of dog walkers and kids can play on the fields or up on the play area.
Could do with a bit of extra attention to dog poop but only really around the edge where you wouldn’t walk or play — unless you were going to pick your own dogs poop up lol

Lovely park to run in. Nice wide paths in good condition. Bit of a hill but not too steep.

I came up to Buile Hill Park to have a kick around with a friend on a clear and blue spring morning. It’s a lovely park to spend some time in, and a great change to being in the city all weekend.
As you might have guessed, Buile Hill Park is in fact on a hill. From certain parts of the park, there are incredible views over the city of Manchester. Really worth coming to see.
There’s some gently sloping grass which is ok for playing football on. It’s worth mentioning that there’s a fair amount of dog doo around, which is disappointing as any dog walker worth his salt can see that there are always kids (or big kids like me) playing football around here.
The park is perfect for a Sunday walk as well, with lots of concreted footpaths winding around the small slopes, trees and contours of this pleasant park.

I am in agreement with Sam that is park is worth a visit. I’m clocking up a good number of parks in my Unilocaling career and though its not particularly special, this is one of my personal favorites. In fact it is a Grade II listed Park of National Historic Importance!
Its got an interesting history too, though it seems to be largely speculation. Rumor has it that author Frances Hodgson Burnett was inspired to write The Secret Garden after a stay at the manor house here! This may be true. The park itself has been open since 1903.
It’s a huge site of over 35 hectares and includes a pitch and putt gold course, play areas, picnic areas and all that malarkey. The council website also boasts that it is home to ‘what is thought to be the world’s first ‘interactive’ tree trail’. Not quite sure who is referred to by those who consider it to qualify for this accolade, as it would appear to me that no-​one gives a monkeys.
Nonetheless, a very nice park!
