An 18 acre park which was presented to Manchester City Council by the Whitworth Trustees in 1905. This is the closest of the larger parks to the City Centre. A popular park, particularly at lunchtimes, when local workers from the hospital and nearby Rusholme seek the solace of a green field in the middle of an otherwise bustling metropolis. It has facilities for five-a-side floodlit football and has a children's playground. There is access for disabled people and it is well served by regular buses down Oxford Road from the city centre.
