Hiking
The area within the meander of the River Irwell has become a nature reserve and important wetland habitat. It's also managed as part of an extensive flood prevention scheme to hold water and slow the flow downstream. The path around the edge feels wild and miles away from busy central Manchester, although it's actually not far.

One of the park entrances.
The little houses recently painted with characteristic scenes are beautiful.
In the pond there are various aquatic animals.
In reality this area was also made to accommodate the excess water of the river in an overflow vessel.
