Nice walking area, some little woods, find the doggy graveyard, very old, visit the stables near the old railway line.

Went to this park yesterday for the first time. My dog was in front of me, she ran through a puddle near the bridge at the top right of the park and came out with a huge cut on her paw resulting in loads of blood loss. I rushed her to the vets, the cut was so deep and had gone across the pad of her paw and edge of the paw and needed stitches. Thankfully we have insurance. Have messaged the park Instagram and tried calling the number but no answer. Just need to warn other dog owners of the potential risk. Not sure if it was glass or metal as it was a deep puddle. Didn’t stop to look, literally ran back to my car to drive to the vets.

Great for walking the dog and getting muddy! Puppies might jump up at you so don't wear your best trainers and jeans!

I took my dog today for the first time and we both loved it, we were there for around 2 hours and could easily have spent longer. It is pretty much all flat and there are lots of main paths to follow but we took the smaller paths through the wooded areas and through the middle of the fields instead so my dog could be off her lead exploring more. There were enough people around to not feel isolated but not too many that it felt crowded. I've never been before today and I already can't wait to go back and find new routes!

Really lovely place to go with the dog. Plenty of paths. It's very flat. A couple of picnic areas. Several entrances/exits around the park. Very enjoyable walk round and our dog loved it. We bumped into a lot of really friendly locals with their dogs too. Nice people.

Highfield Country Park worth visit & must visit to keep a park.
In 2017, plans for redeveloping an area of Highfield Country Park were passed by Manchester Council. Friends of Highfield Country Park objected to this decision but were overruled. The park is suitable for all the family to go there for a good time picnics, walk, cycling and to explore the park. Probably you need a few visits to cover the whole park.

It's fantastic to have some space in Levenshulme, where my dog can run free! There are so many paths to explore and get lost on, but you always find your self back at the picnic tables!
The off piste paths get very muddy in winter, but the main paths are still pretty usable all year round
