Moss Bank Park, Car Park — Attraction in Bolton

Nice park, very lively – Variety of different people to meet.

Moss Bank Park has gone through a lot of changes, some for were for good others weren’t so great.

This park has been one of Bolton’s “Must visit” parks for years now. If you have visited Queens park then visiting Moss Bank Park is not really worth your time as it is inferior in every way.

Moss Bank Park used to offer a variety of different things to do from a small train for kids, a play area and even a small zoo with a butterfly room.

But as years went by funding stopped for the Zoo and the Train ride stopped altogether after a while. As for the play area it has been renovated multiple times but local youths vandalise and destroy swings and other park rides.

I have also seen people a number of people sit about drinking when the weathers nice. Now im dont have a problem with this but theres having a little tipple and getting plastered.

Dont let this put you off as these are just my opinions based on my...

It's a car park. You can park your car. If it's busy, you can't. If it's not, you can! The spaces are perfectly placed for car parking, IE it's a space for a car. Some are shaded (my personal preference!🤗) some are not. There's an 'in' and an 'out' however it's a bit narrow so some semblance of polite 'in n outness' is needed. The hight restriction is also 2.1m (unconfirmed however upon measurement with a B&Q 'chineseum' tape measure) it is actually inaccurately 4cm or 98km. Anyway, it's a car park. You can park your can. (As long as its in-between...
