Wythenshawe Park covers some 250 acres of prime parkland to the immediate south of the city. It constitutes a major leisure facility for the people of south Manchester, and in particular, the vast Wythenshawe housing estate which surrounds it. Beautifully maintained, it has numerous facilities and sporting attractions including several football pitches, tennis courts, bowling greens and children's play areas. Wythenshawe Hall was built by the Tatton family who lived their between 1540 and 1926, when Robert Greville Tatton sold the hall and park to Lord Simon of Wythenshawe, who immediately donated them to the City of Manchester. Several rooms are open to the public, including the Dining Room and the Drawing Room, the latter being the oldest surviving part of the original 1540 house.
The Trafford Centre has had a massive impact on Manchester. It boasts 280 shops, 35 restaurants and a 20-screen cinema under one roof, attracting shoppers from all over the north of England - a veritable cathedral for the consumer! With fancy fake palms, neo-classical columns and marble floors, the Trafford Centre aims to attract the discerning shopper. Stuffed with designer outlets including DKNY, Selfridges, Miss Sixty, Moschino, Calvin Klein, Diesel and Lacoste to name but a few, it really has revolutionised the shopping horizon for Mancunians - and their eager visitors. Even better, the mall has ample free parking for those who wish to shop without racing out of the store to add money to the parking meter.
The high standard of quality presentation is evident in every inch of the 6519 yard golf course at Swinton Park Golf Club. The rebuilding of tees and the introduction of hundreds of mature trees, and construction of new water features and pathways, along with constant care and attention to detail from a dedicated course team provides for arguably, the most consistently well prepared course in the north of England. Swinton Park Golf Club is still a traditional members club with competitions for ladies and gentlemen members held every week. Membership, although not immediately available may be applied for with interested parties.
