Mayfield Park is the first new city-centre park to be created in Manchester for over 100 years and the centrepiece of a 24-acre development of residential, commercial and retail buildings.
Since opening, Mayfield Park has been celebrated as ‘an inspiring benchmark for the park of the future’ by respected horticulturist Nigel Dunnett and applauded for challenging the perception of what a modern urban park can be.
Established in the UK over 25 years ago by the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, the coverted Green Flag Award, celebrates the achievements of parks and green spaces in 17 countries across the world including Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Turkey.
Mayfield Park was developed from an area left derelict for more than 50 years, which has now been transformed into a biodiverse landscape home to a mix of water and wetlands, 140 trees, tens of thousands of bulbs, plants, wildflowers and shrubs, play areas and rain gardens.
