A brief introduction to Whitefield Park

Whitefield Park is located next to Whitefield Metrolink tram station, a short distance from Whitefield town centre and approximately three miles from Bury town centre. The park is a small urban local community park and was first opened as a public park in 1890.

Some significant features include an area at the back of the park planted with trees and wildflowers.
