Vernon Park, Grade II listed country park in Stockport, England
Vernon Park spans 15 acres with formal gardens, including a fernery, sunken garden, lily pond, and tree-lined pathways leading to the Goyt Valley.
The park opened in 1858 on land from Lord Vernon, with local mill workers participating in its construction during a period of economic hardship.
The former Vernon Museum building now operates as Pure Innovations Café, employing people with disabilities while offering views across the park grounds.
Visitors can access multiple recreational facilities including two crown bowling greens, a playground, a bandstand, and numerous walking paths throughout the grounds.
The park received a 21-gun salute during its inauguration using cannons captured in the Crimean War, which were later collected for metal during World War II.
