Walton Park
Discover Walton Park in Sale, a Green Flag award winning park with grassy lawns, a miniature railway ride and several different sports areas.
Take your pick from booking a game of tennis, or gather a team together for a football match on the park's full-sized pitch. There's also a bowling green and two different play areas for kids. Walton Park runs alongside the Bridgewater Canal, where you can find the charming Walton Perk Cafe Boat moored right outside the park's entrance. Here you can find hot and cold drinks, homemade cakes and occasional hot food options.
Walton Park is also the location of the Walton Park Crash Site, where a twin-engine bomber crashed in 1943 having clipped a Beech tree.
