Whitehead Park

Whitehead Park in Bury is a local green space used for everyday recreation and short walks. The layout combines open grass, a small play area and a band of trees that gives shelter along one side. A low stone boundary wall runs along the park’s western edge, marking the line between green space and adjoining terraced streets. Paths cross the site and benches sit beside the routes, which makes the park a place for brief breaks and for parents to keep sight of children at play.

The area around the park is mainly residential, with short streets of houses and small local shops within a few minutes’ walk. Community groups use the space for informal matches and occasional events; a modest pavilion provides storage and changing space for local teams. Public transport links and local roads make the park easy to reach from neighbouring streets, and the park’s scale and layout suit everyday use by nearby households rather than large gatherings.
