About

Woodbank Park covers a large green space in the Stockport borough, stretching along the River Goyt. The area includes playing fields, woodland walks, and formal gardens laid out on a gentle slope. Its paths connect to the wider Trans Pennine Trail network, providing routes for walking and cycling through the valley.

A key feature is the preserved Woodbank Hall, a late 18th-century house that now serves as a community venue. The park also contains the adjacent Vernon Park, with its historic botanical collection and conservatory. This creates a substantial, linked recreational area marked by its Victorian heritage and riverside setting.
