Stamford Park
Stamford Park is a popular 16-acre Grade II-listed public park on the borders of Altrincham and Hale.
Opened in 1880 on land donated by the 7th Earl of Stamford and designed by landscape gardener John Shaw, it was one of the first parks in England created with major provision for sports and recreation.
Today it remains a much-loved Green Flag Award-winning green space, offering children’s play areas, ornamental ponds, a café, bowling greens, tennis and basketball courts, colourful gardens, a woodland trail and open lawns - perfect for families, walkers, sports and quiet relaxation and just a short walk from Altrincham town centre.
