Irwell River Park
Irwell River Park will become Manchester City Region’s new international waterfront destination.
Embracing 280 hectares, Irwell River Park will transcend three local authority areas, provide inspirational waterside spaces, connections and placemaking, deliver new cultural, leisure and sustainable transport routes and promote excellence in environmental quality that will be a benchmark for 21st century sustainable regeneration.
Connecting People
People are at the heart of Irwell River Park, from local anglers, rowers and residents to tourists, office workers and investors.
With a vibrant sense of community, Irwell River Park is key to connecting neighbourhoods and visitors with a variety of destinations. Irwell River Park represents incredible opportunity and connectivity. It is a gateway to many nationally recognised tourism landmarks, showcasing the region’s assets, stimulating tourism and making the area a great place to work, live and visit.
Invest
As a strategic regional site, Irwell River Park will connect more than £3 billion of public and private sector investment along its route.
Irwell River Park will create new linkages between employment and tourist destinations, enhancing connectivity and accessibility to support future economic growth. The development of continuous and sustainable routeways and transport corridors from MediaCityUK to the Regional Centre will help to create a single destination for businesses, residents and visitors, second only to London.
