Debdale Park, Public park in Gorton, Manchester, England
The 45-acre Debdale Park contains two former water reservoirs, multiple sports facilities, and a children's playground near Hyde Road.
Manchester and Salford Waterworks Company purchased the land in 1820 to build reservoirs, later transforming into a public park after World War I.
The Green Flag Community Award winner provides recreational activities through its outdoor center, offering sailing, kayaking, and canoeing opportunities.
Visitors can access tennis courts, a bowling green, a skate park, and a multi-use games area, with facilities open from dawn until dusk.
In March 1987, Debdale Park hosted a temporary station for Project Light Rail, marking the first light rail operation in Manchester.
