The Top 10 Parks in Bolton, Greater Manchester

Fresh reviews:

A great community park. Our kids (aged 3 and 5) love going there — the play facilities are really good. Indeed, they call it Big Slide Park because of one particular climbing-frame/slide construction. We like going there too because the children who play there always seem really helpful — if our 3-year-old…

Heywood Park

A small children’s play area off Wigan Road.There’s a very good playground there: Bolton Council have recently invested some money in their children’s play facilities, and they have put in quite a bit of new equipment here.

Astley Bridge Park

This park is deeply rooted in the Daubhill area of town and is a much appreciated green space for local children and residents. Unfortunately a recent spate of vandalism has led to the removal of the skate ramps and play park for safety reasons, but there is still a large area of park space which is popular…
