Old Moat Park

Old Moat Park, named after the ward Old Moat near Withington, is a really normal park. The park has apparently undergone improvements in recent years resulting in it winning the Green Flag Award in 2005 and 2006, which according to the council is ‘the national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales and benchmark of excellence in recreational green areas’. However, it is worth adding, that Old Moat Park, is just a normal, regular park.
The site is comprised mainly of grass, termed ‘amenity grassland’ by the ever embellishing council. The council admit that the park is ‘predominantly used for play, sports, informal recreation and dog walking by the local community’, so basically, it’s a normal park.
If it’s a normal park you’re after, Old Moat is the place for you. Its always quiet which is a bonus and they do have a concrete football and basketball area which is excellent if the grass is too wet to play. There’s also a wooden carving of an old man, which is very very creepy indeed.
Other than that, normal park.
