Cheetham Park, more commonly known as Elizabeth Street Park, is a Victorian park situated at the Cheetham ward of north Manchester. It was opened in 1886 but in recent years it has been neglected and is currently not well used. The bandstand has been a Grade II listed structure since 1994: "Bandstand. c.1890-1910; restored. Cast-iron, wrought-iron and wood, with slate roof. Hexagonal plan. Brick plinth, cast-iron columns, wrought-iron railings bowed in profile, with simple Art Nouveau inverted heart-shape panels, C20 steps at north corner; simple iron brackets to purlins; wooden ribbed and boarded under surface to swept slated canopy roof with apex finial."
