Whitworth Gardens, Public park in Manchester city center, United Kingdom.

Whitworth Gardens spans approximately 8 hectares of landscaped grounds featuring well-maintained lawns, walking paths, seating areas, and open spaces for outdoor leisure activities.

The park was established in 1890 and redesigned in 1895 following the demolition of Rusholme House, transforming private estate grounds into dedicated public recreational space.

The gardens feature a statue of King Edward VII created by J Cassidy and unveiled between 1911 and 1913, serving as a historical landmark within the urban landscape.

Managed by Manchester City Council, the park offers free public access with nearby parking facilities and excellent public transport connections to the city center.

The park includes a gallery built with red terracotta featuring symmetrical low towers, cross-windows, and polygonal buttresses with a semi-circular columned porch entrance.
