Manchester's newest park, Mayfield, will open this week in a 'momentous' day for the city.
The official opening of the park has been a closely-guarded secret by bosses, but today (September 20) the Manchester Evening News can exclusively reveal the public will be able to start enjoying the 6.5 acre space in just a matter of days. Work on the park has been ongoing for the past 18 months. Thursday (September 22) will mark the opening of the city centre’s first new public park in more than 100 years.
“September 22 is a momentous day for Mayfield, and Manchester,” Martyn Evans, Creative Director of developers U+I, said. “The greatest cities in the world offer a true blend of amazing culture, great architecture and green space. Manchester is one such city and Mayfield Park adds a significant piece of new, family-friendly, inclusive greenspace to the city centre.”
