Urban parks
Our urban parks offer a wide range of facilities including children's play areas, multi-play ball zones, tennis courts, football pitches, crown green bowling and events hosted by Bury Ranger Service.
Our main parks are situated across the six towns in the borough of Bury. Use the 'Related Links' on the left to view information about each of our main urban parks.
The Parks and Countryside Service
Our Parks & Countryside Service are responsible for the management and development of Bury's urban parks and the service is committed to retaining the Green Flag Award for all of Bury's major parks. The Green Flag Award is the national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales.
The Green Flag Award
All 11 of our main urban parks have now achieved Green Flag status which is awarded by Keep Britain Tidy, GreenSpace, the National Housing Federation and the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens (the environmental charity The Civic Trust). Burrs Country Park has also achieved the standard making a total of 12 Green Flags. This puts Bury amongst the greenest places in Britain when it comes to its wonderful parks.
The Green Flag success reflects our determination, in partnership with the Government, to invest in the borough's parks as part of our 'cleaner, safer, greener' programme. Working with local people, Bury's success reflects a systematic, multi-million pound programme of improvements that includes state-of-the-art ball zones, new furniture/security measures, improved and new floral attractions as well as new landscaping, tennis courts and other features. Bury now has at least one Green Flag park within each area board boundary in the Borough.
