Sale Water Park and Chorlton Ees

Creative Tourist
BW

The lines between Chorlton Ees and Sale Water Park are a little bit blurry. What people locally refer to as ‘The Water Park’ is a cluster of green made up of Chorlton and Sale Water Parks, Turn Moss Playing Fields, Chorlton Ees Nature Reserve, Sale Ees, Barlow Tip and Hardy Farm.

However you want to define them, this expanse of nature on the outskirts of Chorlton and Sale is a haven for cyclists, dog-walkers and picnic seekers – there’s even a pub slap bang in the middle. Need we say more? Get there via Chorlton’s Beech Road area, Sale Water Park tram stop, or the entry to Chorlton Water Park near Southern Cemetery.
