Hulme Park — Attraction in Manchester

This is a very lovely, mid-sized local park that has many beautiful mature trees that offer great shade on sunny days. It also offers great views of some swish skyscrapers nearby.

Hulme Park has a great, fenced-off children's adventure play area complete with slides and a rope climbing frame. There is also a soccer pitch, basketball court, table tennis table, skateboarding ramps and exercise equipment.

On the afternoon I visited, a large and ethnically diverse group of young men in their teens and twenties were competing with each other very good naturedly to see who could do the most chin-ups or perform the most spectacular gymnastics routine.

The pleasant paths that surround and criss cross Hulme Park also make it a popular place for dog walkers.

And for the less energetic, there are also four picnic tables plus a large number of benches (with no tables). My only negative was that one bin near an entrance was badly overflowing. However, none of the others were.

Free, on-street parking nearby is available for a maximum of three hours Monday to Friday. There are no restrictions on weekends.

All in all, Hulme Park is a beautiful and tranquil place that attracts a broad section of humanity who all seem to get along with each other amidst the great facilities and the calming effect of the majestic trees.

The group of children aged between ten and twelve I had brought loved Hulme Park. And they are quite the connaisseurs as we visit different parks several times a month. They left happy and tired. What more can...

The park has a nice mix of maintained and wildflower areas. Some of the wildflower areas have a lot of stinging nettles and brambles near the pathways however which isn't great if you have children running around. The playground, like the seating areas, is a bit old and needs some investment but although it's old my child loves it - although the wooden raised structure and long slide which I think many children liked best in the playground have been closed off for the best part of a year and there's no sign of any work in progress. Hello @mancitycouncil - what is being done!? But there's a basketball area, small skate area, football pitch and plenty of open lawn area so overall a nice little community park and I often see family friendly events in the summer months too. On hot days it gets noisy and busy with people playing music, cooking on disposable bbqs and smoking/ drinking etc but mostly, apart from immediately after school time, it is quiet...
