Although the area was named for Victorian Philips Park, rapid industrialisation during the late 19th century led to Park station being situated odiferously between Manchester abattoir and various CWS food processing factories. As the area declined in the 1960s and 1970s, Park lost its raison d'etre. It had a skeletal service by 1989 and closed without fuss shortly afterwards.
