It dates back to the Victorian era and has several stunning features
You can’t beat a visit to the park when the weather’s nice. Luckily when it comes to parks, gardens and green spaces there are loads to choose from in Greater Manchester.
The main focal point is the tranquil boating lake, overlooked by a gorgeous boathouse, which houses a café today. Take a relaxing stroll around the boating lake and keep your eyes peeled for the waterfowl which call it home. The lake is not the only historical feature within the park. It also has an impressive green house made up of three conservatories, housing a range of plants inside. Throughout the park are colourful flower beds which come into full bloom during the summer months.
The idea of creating a park in Oldham came about during the early 1860s when the textile industry suffered during the Lancashire Cotton Famine. Supplies of cotton were cut off from the USA and as a result unemployment soared in the town as mills were unable to operate. One of the schemes launched responding to the crisis was the creation of Alexandra Park.
