Philips Park — Attraction in Salford

It is convenient to where I live plenty to do there, I love taking my dog there, he loves it, there is a variation of things to do, they have 2 children's play areas they have a pond with wildlife in it, they have an area where you can lay in the sun or children can play a variation of sports, there is a bike section where I see a lot of children and adults using there are also a variation of places where you can sit quietly there are plenty of seats available, there is also a picnic area near the pond they have a variation of seats for children to enjoy, the pond itself is safe and secure for young children, there is also a foot path that takes you through a woodland and it is near the river which again is well fenced off so it is secure for children, they have an allotment there Which is communal and also there is a meadow where again a lot of wildlife, If taking children i would be wary at the bottom there is a bridge which goes over the river this area is not fenced off. Over all I think it is a beautiful place and if you want to keep fit plenty of room for that and plenty of room for cyclists along the pathways, it is close to a large Asda angled a Macdonald's as well as cafes...

This is an excellent park, lots of green space, paths to follow and a couple of play parks for kids. Plus two fun cycling tracks near the viaduct bridge. There's a few different sections to the park with plenty of open grassland to sit on and benches too. The cemetery next to it is also great to wander with really interesting old graves and information signs that help you find graves of historic interest. (The cemetery is actually tidier than the park.)

The only negative to the park is there are no public toilets which is a real disappointment as it's a great park to picnic and spend the day. The council really needs to open public toilets to make the park fully accessible to all people. It's a shame with the Etihad and Co-op Live next to it that some investment wasn't put into this park too, it needs a refresh and toilets!!

This park is about a 30 minute walk along the canal from New Islington (lovely, easy walk) or you can take the tram from Manchester and get off at The Ethiad, the park is 5...

Large area for kids to play and explore. 2 x Play areas with swings and climbing activities, one for the little ones and one for the bigger kids. Football/ basketball area. See the wildlife around the large duckpond. There's a great bike track area for those brave BMX enthusiasts with bumps and slopes to practice on for free. Also a small track for the toddlers under the arch. Loads of space to run and play. Plenty of benches to sit and rest or watch your kids run around. No car park so not much room to park on...
