Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Crowcroft Park According to Manchester City Council http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/200073/parks_and_open_spaces/2888/crowcroft_park/1 "Crowcroft Park is a true community park ... used for dog walking, children's recreational play, sports, community events, educational activities, bowling and hosting live music. The park has a strong and active Friends of Group who support community events and actively campaign for improvements in the park. In 2008, Crowcroft Park was awarded a Green Flag Award for achieving the national standard for parks and green spaces. Opened in 1900, Crowcroft Park was one of Manchester early parks and was the quintessential Victorian Park with well laid out flower beds, elaborate bandstand, pretty flower borders and abundance of cricket and football, pitches. The park was originally created for recreational purposes for the young residents of the neighbourhood, and in response to the growing need to preserve land for leisure and recreation." It also says that prior to 2001 it was a park in decline, which might explain the police notice on the entrance warning users to mind their valuables and avoid using mobile phones within the park!
Much excellent information about the history of the park can be found on the Manchester History website: http://manchesterhistory.net/LONGSIGHT/PARKS/crowcroft.html |
