Longford Park
Longford Park is a public park in Stretford, Greater Manchester. It is in the east of the town and spans an area of 22 ha, making it the largest park in Trafford. Attractions include a pets' corner, a wildlife garden, bowling greens, tennis and basketball courts, a play area for children, a Scout group, disc golf course, and an athletics stadium. It was the site of a royal garden party in 1977, the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II. As the Manchester–Stretford border ran across the park until the Boundary Commission moved it in 1987, part of it (including Stretford Stadium) was in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, although it was always administered by Trafford Council.
