Burrs Activity Centre is located in a set of renovated mill workers back-to-back terraced cottages in the centre of Burrs Country Park.
The abundance of still and moving water at Burrs makes the site particularly good for water sports. The site features a canoe training pool, a canal feeder and the River Irwell.
The Activity Centre is run by Burrs Activity Centre Ltd on a shared management basis using a combination of voluntary and paid staff.
