A brief introduction to Openshaw Park
Openshaw Park is a local community public park of approximately 5 hectares. It is located just over a mile outside of Bury town centre in an area historically known as Pimhole. The park was first opened as a public park in 1888.
Party in the Park
Party in the Park has been held every year in Openshaw Park for the last 5 years. It is now likely to be rotated around the four parks in Bury. The idea for the event is to bring communities together for a fun day out for all the family. Use the link on the left to find out more.
Access
Access can be gained from four points on Rochdale Road - through the main entrance at the centre of the park, at St Thomas’ Church near the Renault garage and opposite the pelican crossing. Access can also be gained from Pimhole Road.
The park is fairly level throughout with well-maintained footways and is, therefore, accessible to people with disabilities and families with push-chairs.
The main bus routes that pass near to the park are numbers 64, 152, 163, 460, 461 and 471.
