The new £36.5 million transport gateway means that Central Park is served not just by its own dual carriageway but also by a dedicated stop as part of the latest extension to Manchester’s Metrolink, on the Oldham to Rochdale line. By the time of its completion, an estimated 13 million additional journeys will be made on the Metrolink each year, and Central Park will be just one stop – or five minutes – from Manchester city centre.

This unique offer is supplemented by a dedicated bus service for the park, with buses running to and from the city centre every 10 minutes.

It is just 1.5 miles from the city centre and close to junction 21 of the M60 and the Manchester inner ring road, giving quick access to the national road network including the M6 and M62. Its location allows for convenient connection whether travelling north, south, east or west.

By train, Manchester is linked to all major UK cities, with a West Coast Main Line service every 30 minutes to London.

And by air, Manchester Airport places the world in convenient reach, with cities such as Brussels, Frankfurt and New York among its destinations.

Central Park is in the heart of New East Manchester. One of the most successful regeneration areas in the country, its recent additions include a new high school, two new primary schools and 12,500 new homes. And as well as access to the city and transport links, it is on the doorstep of the Medlock Valley and Phillips Park, offering large swathes of open green space for all to enjoy.
