A New Park For The People
At the heart of the regeneration is the City River Park which covers 46 ha of new and improved parkland, it will become one of Manchester’s largest city centre green spaces. The park will vary in character providing a diverse and active new recreational corridor for the community including parks and smaller amenity spaces.
City River Park will enhance existing habitats and create new habitats for wildlife and be guided by climate positive design to create results which as carbon neutral as possible. Connectivity and accessibility are also key ensuring high quality pedestrian and cycle movement within luscious green spaces for active lifestyles and well-being.
