*ahem* And now… a haiku: Birchfields Park is big The summer destination Many festivals Thank you, thank you. No need for fan mail. The park has a habit of getting swamped whenever it rains enough, but if you happen to get lucky and have a stretch of good weather, Birchfields is a good place to spend a summer-style day. Barbecues, people playing in the park, little kiddos running all over the place, this is a typical park when the sun comes out. It’s fairly large as well so you’re bound to find a spot to park yourself. There’s often festivals or other events held here, so if you check out the local calendar you’ll be able to attend some, convenient if you’re living nearby.

A lovely open plan green park not too far from the hustle and bustle of Rusholme and the university areas, yet nonetheless surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Birchfields Park was acquired by the City Council in 1887 for £9,930 from local landowner Sir William Anson! Isnt that interesting! Cheers manchester Citty Council. I like talking about the history of park that I review, but in this case there is literally diddlie squat to say about it. Its got a boring history. The most notable thing is a huge boulder in the middle of the park, which turns out to weight an amazing 13 tonnes! Meaningless boulder aside, the park is a great place for walks, picnics and football. Its also quite alright for children, unlike some of Manchester’s more dodgy green spaces.

I spent many delightful days here in years past playing football or frisbee, or having a barbecue with friends, so my memories are all coated in a warm, fuzzy glow that almost makes me forget the other side to Birchfields. The side closest to the less salubrious areas of Rusholme. It’s a nice enough park, with a playground and basketball court, a little path round it and picnic area. It’s just unfortunate it can be host to events such as chav firework tag, which although admittedly entertaining to watch is also fairly dangerous. Also don’t bother going near it at night, just to be safe.

Being a few streets away from the university makes Birchfields Park that bit quieter, which is excellent if you want to go and enjoy the sun in the summer or take a short stroll to get your mind of your degree. There’s a path around the perimeter of the park. It’s perfect for a run that’s a mile in all. Go round twice if you want to go two miles! Simple. I’ve been running around this park a few times, and you can run through the trees around the edge of the park which is lovely, if not a bit squelchy, in the autumn. The park is nice and flat and perfect for a kickabout or that game of ultimate frisbee with your mates, if that’s you kind of thing.
