Ordsall Park

Introduction

Ordsall Park is a public park lying between Park Road and Hulton Street. The park was developed on fifteen acres of land purchased from Lord Egerton of Tatton and was opened in 1877. The rectangular site was divided into roughly two equal areas by an axial path. To the east of the path there was a gymnasium, to the west a lake and a series of walks leading from a main circular area. Much of the original layout is still apparent although the lake has gone. The park has been extended to the north.
