Whitwoth Park is certainly a place where my friends and I always spent sometimes playing football, rugby and frisbee. It is located just before “curry miles” if you are coming from city centre. My first time being at this park was not actually very interesting because I arrived at Manchester from Malaysia during winter time. So, the wet condition plus muddy condition in some places made my experience being at this place was not so special. The park itself has lots of mature tree lined walks, lawns and open fields which me and friends usually play football there.
After a year live in Manchester, I had witnessed Whitworth Park transformation. Now there is “Play Area” where parents can bring their children there to have their own leisure time.
Sadly, I did heard about one or more cases where there had been some robbery here at Whitworth Park. All the cases happened at late night and in all cases, the victims were alone. So, the obvious advise is not to walk there alone at night, in fact anywhere else that is known to be “black” area. But the last case if I am not mistaken happened during winter 2009. Since then, there is no more case like that happen, maybe due to the police patrol there.
Anyway, Whitworth Park is still my choice if I want to play football or anything else because it location is very convenient.
