About
A green space with a mix of woodland, open areas, and riverside paths, this park is a popular spot for walking, cycling, and running. It connects to the Irwell Sculpture Trail, providing scenic routes along the river. Multi-use paths cater to walkers and cyclists, while the forested areas offer a tranquil escape. The park also features a lake, making it a peaceful spot to unwind. Dog owners often visit, as dogs can cool off in the river. Fishing is another activity enjoyed here. The park links to neighbouring green spaces, allowing visitors to extend their walks or rides as desired.
Customer Reviews
Drinkwater Park is a place of peace and memory, full of wild beauty and still waters that reflect the sky like a dream. 🌳✨ It’s not just a walk — it’s a sanctuary where you can think, breathe, and feel connected to nature. Every path, every bridge, every ripple tells a story. A true hidden treasure for anyone who wants to step out of the noise and into something timeless. 💜
Nice spot for a quiet walk or run, especially early in the morning. Decent mix of open space, woods, and paths by the water. Good access to the river and some scenic bits along the Irwell Sculpture Trail. Not much in terms of facilities though. No toilets or café, and bins can be limited. Great if you want a bit of nature close to Manchester without big crowds.
Drinkwater Park is a great place to wonder around, it has multi use paths, Bridleway, Cycling and Walkers. They're wide enough for everyone. The only problem I have with it is that there's no Bins for Doggy Bags and these so called dog lovers have dropped hundreds of them all around the park..🐶💩
