Alexandra Park, Oldham, Grade II listed Victorian park in Oldham, England.

The 57-acre Alexandra Park features woodland paths, a boating lake, gardens, and multiple recreational spaces across varied terrain.

Local unemployed cotton workers constructed the park in 1865 during the Lancashire Cotton Famine using government loans to create employment.

The park contains numerous statues commemorating local figures, including the Emma Statue and a memorial to Joseph Howarth, known as Blind Joe.

Visitors can access seven tennis courts, three bowling greens, a children's play area, a conservatory, and a boathouse café within the park grounds.

The park connects to the Northern Roots Project, which develops a 160-acre urban farm and eco-park in the adjacent Snipe Clough area.
