Longford Park — Attraction in Trafford

Good park lots of space to play football or another sport, has tennis and basketball courts, a frisbee golf course and 2 big play areas, 1 for older kids, 1 for younger. There is a "pets corner" and cafe in the centre. Pets corner have goats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens. The cafe does most hot drinks and cakes and there is a toilet inside but it isn't very big. You can drive into the park two different ways and there are two car parks, one of which is right next to a running track and "stadium" (for athletics), the other next to a scout hut and a few houses. The gardens in the park are very pretty and are full of flowers in the summer. The park is right next to Stretford Grammar School which is also near Stretford mall, which is very convenient. I really love and appreciate the park as I have made many memories there and it is overall a very enjoyable place, however some of the facilities...

Lovely park with a great disc golf course, it’s free to play if you bring a frisbee. You can also rent them from the fab little café. There are two playgrounds too and a pet’s corner too. Tennis courts are near the main car park. Saturday mornings can get busy with the very popular park run. The athletics track hosts several meets but they also run all ability cycling sessions there with a selection of specialty bikes. There are some volunteer gardening groups behind the pet’s corner on the way down to the active Scouts group near the old stables. Did I mention how fun the disc golf is?

It would be great to see the more of the old buildings put to community use and maybe to even have a park keeper on site. Also the north end of the park holds a lot of water after heavy rains, opening up the old brook might help move that while supporting the...

I like this park, it has plenty of space for the kids to run around and the additional advantage of a play area. Serve hot and cold food with lots of variety for all dietary requirements. Lots of dog walkers use this park and I have to say the ones I have seen always ensure they keep their pooches under control 🐕🐩. There is only one thing that I could mention that isn't as complementary, they have an ice cream van on site, this isn't the issue, it's where it parks. I have only been here a few times and each time I walk past the van I trip over the tree roots right in front of the van. Now I know that we can't or want to do anything to the tree roots but maybe the van could find a more even position. All in all the park is lovely, lots for the kids to do and nice atmosphere, food good, staff in the cafe warm, polite...
