Buile Hill Park, Grade II listed park in Salford, England
Buile Hill Park is an 86-acre green space in Salford featuring a mansion constructed in the early 19th century at its center. The grounds contain tennis courts, a bowling green, children's play facilities, and an extensive network of walking paths.
The mansion was built between 1825 and 1827 for Sir Thomas Potter, the first Mayor of Manchester, establishing the estate's significance. During World War II, the grounds were damaged when German bombing struck the site.
The mansion at the park's center reflects the wealth and status of the industrial era when wealthy families shaped the landscape. Visitors can sense how the grand house and surrounding grounds once showcased the success of Manchester's business leaders.
The park offers free entry and features parking areas and public restrooms throughout the grounds. Good public transport connections link the site to different parts of Greater Manchester by bus.
During World War II the site held a barrage balloon installation used to defend against air attacks from above. This wartime defense shows how the peaceful park became part of the city's protection strategy.
