Hello Sports Community,
James would like to take a moment to share some exciting details about Victoria Park in Macclesfield. Situated right in the heart of town, this lovely park is packed with options for everyone.
For the younger crowd, the park boasts a well-equipped children's play area. With swings, slides, and climbing frames, there's plenty to keep the kids entertained while parents can take a breather on the nearby benches.
Bowling fans, you're in luck! Victoria Park has a top-notch lawn bowling green. Just book ahead to ensure your spot and bring your own bowls for a friendly game with mates or family. It's a fantastic spot to catch up and enjoy the surroundings.
The bandstand at Victoria Park is a local gem, hosting a variety of musical performances throughout the year. From local bands to visiting orchestras, there's always something to tap your toes to.
Don't miss the stunning floral beds that change with the seasons. Whether it's bright spring blooms or autumn colours, these displays add a burst of beauty to your visit.
Football enthusiasts will find a well-maintained pitch ready for action. Whether it's a casual kickabout or a more competitive match, the pitch is a great space for everyone to enjoy.
Conveniently located on Buxton Road, Victoria Park offers ample roadside parking. Spread over 4.9 hectares (12 acres), there's plenty of room for a leisurely stroll or a relaxed picnic.
James also wants to highlight the park's rich history. Opened in 1894 and named after Queen Victoria, it was a generous gift to the town by Francis Brocklehurst, a notable figure in Macclesfield's history.
To keep improving this treasured space, Cheshire East Council has developed a draught master plan. Feedback and suggestions from the community are welcome to help enhance the park while preserving its historical charm.
So whether you're kicking a football around, exploring the gardens, or just soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, Victoria Park is a wonderful place for all. James looks forward to seeing you there enjoying all it has to offer.
Cheers,
James
