West Gorton Community Park is a new sustainable drainage park for the local community, using an interconnected series of swales, rain gardens and bio-attenuation features.

Our landscape architects have designed a new sustainable drainage park for the local community, using an interconnected series of swales, rain gardens and bio-attenuation features. This is part of an innovative scheme to use nature-based solutions to combat the effects of climate change and reduce storm water flooding in Manchester. The park has three different areas; a woodland area with tree-lined paths and play equipment; a biodiverse meadow with picnic area and a community area.
