Great place to just sit and relax! Lovely big trees and plenty seating for everyone! Located in between university buildings and an elevated train track. This park got best of both worlds; sun and shade. There’s Starbucks just around the corner too ✨

Although aesthetically the Vimto sculpture is borderline kitsch this small island of green in the city centre is a pole of attraction for nearby urbanites whenever the Manchester weather forecast is partially cloudy with a small chance of rainfall.

A nice-enough if nondescript bit of open space surrounded by the UMIST campus. One of the few bits of the city centre that the shower of ----s on Manchester City Council hasn't yet allowed some huge monstrosity to be built by one of their chums.

An excellent place to bring doggie-friends, very quiet & rarely are there numpties roaming around. Generally, the other dog owners are very friendly & allow their doggies to play with Kiri, my friend's samoyed. It's a great place to collect

A very small park with a couple of benches to sit on. The area is very clean and the monument to Vimto is really cool. This is a popular park for people how play the popular mobile game Pokemon Go as the site is said to be an ex gym.

  • Marlita Putri Ekasari

Vimto park is located near Manchester Piccadilly station, University of Manchester, and Sackville garden. It is nice to sit there and have a break from indoor working activities.

  • Chyrelle McAlister

Fun little sculpture in the middle of a small green area, just a shame that the local council don't appear to care for it very much. Nice for a photo opportunity though!

  • Stefano P

As described in internet… but interesting to take some explanation by the guide and get why refreshment drinks were so popular at the begin of last century

Nice little park in the city center. Was a convenient, quiet, semi-fenced in area to to run my dog in the morning when we were staying around the corner.

I arrived the same time as some drunks so not sure if it’s always like this but don’t bring your kids the grass is filled with cigarette’s but

  • Dave Morgan

Very cool Vimto sculpture/exhibit. Highly recommended for a short visit, but not someplace where you'd want to hang out for a while.

  • Lavanka

A mancunian classic, would recommend for students and young adults who seek shadow in the day but don't mind sitting on the grass

  • Sherina Johnson

Big space lovely park. You can sit under the trees and relax or take the whole family for a day out. …

  • Joe Viloria

There’s a big float of a bottle of wine that sits in front of the Sackesville building of the UoM.

Cute small park to have a chill time with your books or an evening walk with your dog. …
