History

The park is situated on land formerly owned by a local cotton manufacturer Charles Martin Newhouse. [2] He died in 1873 without a will, so his estate reverted to Queen Victoria through the Duchy of Lancaster, who subsequently gifted the land to the Heywood Local Board. [3] The park was laid out on the former grounds of Heywood House and opened on 2 August 1879. [1] [4]

In 1923 additional land was donated by alderman David Healey, which extended the park eastwards to include a boating lake. [1]

The park was Grade II listed on 9 August 2001. [1]

Features

Queen's Park Lodge and three-basin ornamental fountain were both designed by the Harrogate architectural practice H. E. and A. Bown in 1878. [5]

The park contains a number of facilities, including a café, open-air theatre, children's play area, bowling greens and a tennis court. [2]
