Manor Park is a city park in Glossop, Derbyshire, England.[2]

History

The park was originally part of the now demolished Glossop Hall, formerly called Royle Hall, and built circa 1729 by Kimberley Rose Clayton. In the mid-19th century the hall was extended and the roads around the hall re-routed. The site on which the hall resided was bought by Glossop Borough Council in April 1927 and Manor Park was officially opened in September 1927.[3]

Features

[edit]

The park has formal landscaping, a lake, floral displays, specimen trees, borders and shrubs, woodland walks, a pavilion, a cafe, crown green bowling, a skate park, a statue, a miniature railway and train which you can go on and it takes you through the woodlands, a children's play area, tennis courts, basketball courts, football pitches and a sensory garden.[2] There is a ridable miniature railway.[4] Glossop Parkrun takes place in the park every Saturday morning at 9am.[5]
