Crumpsall Park is a small municipal park in the Crumpsall ward of Manchester, North West England.
Originally planned as a cemetery,[1] the plot was made into a recreational park in 1890 CE.
The area in which the park is located was the site of the residence of the Chetham family - known as Crumpsall Hall - the earlier Crumpsall Old Hall was situated at the junction of Sandy Lane (now Crescent Road) and Cheetham Street, (now Humphrey Street) and this was the birthplace of Humphrey Chetham.[1]
The park has been awarded the Green Flag Award for recreational park excellence annually since 2005.[2][3][4]
A voluntary organisation known as the Friends of Crumpsall Park (FoCP) serves as a pressure group, events organiser and development monitor for the park, and works in liaison with Manchester City Council and other funding bodies.[5]
The main event of the year is the annual Crumpsall Carnival.[6]
