Chadderton Hall Park, Public park in Chadderton, Greater Manchester, England.
Description
Chadderton Hall Park is a 6-hectare green space in Chadderton where the River Irk flows through the landscape. The grounds feature tennis courts, a bowling green, and ornamental gardens connected by walking paths.
History
The park occupies the site of the former Chadderton Hall, built in the 13th century by Geoffrey de Chadderton and demolished in 1939. The destruction of the house transformed the private estate into public parkland.
Culture
The park served as a gathering place for the community during the 18th and 19th centuries, hosting archery competitions and cavalry reviews that brought people together. These events shaped how locals used the grounds and demonstrated its role as a social center.
Practical
Visitors can use free tennis courts and access a children's playground with equipment designed for all abilities. The site has public toilets, a cafe, and dedicated parking spaces nearby.
Did you know?
The park once housed a menagerie with exotic animals, including a kangaroo and a lion, set beside a boating lake in its former pleasure gardens. This collection reveals how dramatically the site's purpose changed over time.
