Birchfields Park was acquired by Manchester City Council in 1887 from local landowner Sir William Anson for the creation of a public park, and formally opened by Prince Albert in 1888. The site's main landscape elements include a large area of amenity grassland enclosed by mature woodland, trees in grass, unimproved grassland, a wildflower meadow and a woodland garden.
