More information on Platt Fields Park

Situated between Fallowfield and Rusholme and dating back to 1908, Platt Fields is one of Manchester's principal parks. There are plenty of things to see within its 90 acres, including a costume museum on the grounds and beautifully kept gardens. Other leisure facilities include three tennis courts, four bowling greens, a roller hockey pitch and crazy golf. The wide expanses play host to annual shows and funfairs (along with a popular bonfire night firework display), while the Fallowfield end of the park also has a large boating and angling lake.
