Mayfield Park
Baring Street, Manchester, M1 2PY · Manchester
Manchester city centre's first brand-new public park in over 100 years, opened September 2022. A 6.5-acre riverside park built around the newly uncovered River Medlock, with almost 150 trees and thousands of plants. Its standout feature for families is a large play yard woven along the river — six slides (one running right over the Medlock), swings, rope bridges, crawl tunnels and wheelchair-accessible equipment, one of the biggest public playgrounds in the city. Free to enter. Best reached by tram or train — it sits right beside Manchester Piccadilly station and has no dedicated car park.
