The formal side of St Mary's Park (on the western side of the A56 Bury New Road) is called "The Flower Park" (https://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=11191 Bury Council). Officially opened in 1931 (http://www.bury.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=4292), the Flower Garden still contains a number of its original features including a layout of formal beds. It borders Prestwich Clough.
