Platt Fields Park, Public park in Rusholme, Manchester, England.
The 70-hectare green space includes a central lake with an island sanctuary, multiple sports facilities, and several specialized gardens across the grounds.
The land was first documented in 1150 as property of the Knights of St John before Manchester Corporation purchased it in 1908 to prevent development.
The park contains Platt Hall, a Grade II listed Georgian building that served as the Gallery of Costume, representing local architectural and fashion heritage.
Visitors can access tennis courts, basketball facilities, a BMX track, and a skatepark, with specific hours offering free court usage during weekday mornings.
The Shakespearean garden within the park exclusively features plants mentioned in Shakespeare's literary works, creating a botanical connection to literature.
