About
A green oasis with mature trees and walking paths, this park features remnants of Longford Hall alongside a range of activities. It includes a running track, football pitches, tennis courts, and a playground, catering to various interests. A cafe serves teas, desserts, and vegan options, while an ice cream van adds to the refreshments available. The park is also home to a small farm with goats, adding a unique touch. Disc golf courses provide an alternative activity, and the well-maintained picnic areas and grassy spaces make it a spot for outdoor gatherings. Dog walkers and families often enjoy the expansive green space.

An oasis of fun and peace within the hustle and bustle of Manchester City centre. Situated reasonably close to both old Trafford football and cricket grounds, this park can provide some nice respite from the heaving crowds on match day and associated hooliganism. The park is huge, and is equipped with a lovely cafe (see my previous review), children’s play areas, large fields appropriate for games and ball sports, tennis courts and a disc golf course (reviewed separately). The park is far quieter than nearby equivalents such as Platt Fields park, Manchester and Alexandra Park, Manchester. This makes is a great target for an afternoon of peace and quiet immersed in nature. The park has lots of little hidden gems, nice flower patches and architectural relics.
A beautiful old park, part of which used to be Longford Hall. You can still see the remains of the hall but the park is now full of mature trees, walk ways and lovely little cafe.
Longford Park is a real green oasis. After a long walk through the picturesque alleys, we went to a local cafe, and it exceeded all expectations. An amazing selection of teas and delicious desserts, including vegan options. The atmosphere in the park is very calm and friendly, there is a strong community. The perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
