This walk is one of ten exciting routes designed to help you explore some of Trafford’s most beautiful countryside and parks on foot.
Get to know John Leigh Park and venture on a journey of discovery though its rich tree heritage. This park has been at the heart of Altrincham since its creation in 1917 and offers something for everyone. Enjoy the serenity of this sloping parkland, visit pets’ corner, play on the sports courts, or simply explore the heritage of its trees as you follow the path around.
Accessibility
Many of the paths in John Leigh Park are wheelchair and pushchair-friendly. There are slopes in certain areas and some steps, but these should be easy to avoid. According to the Trafford Council website, public toilets are available included a facility for visitors with disabilities.
