About Tonge Park
Tonge Park is a traditional district park on Tonge Park Avenue in the Tonge Moor area of Bolton, serving the surrounding Haulgh and Tonge neighbourhoods. It is managed by Bolton Council as a free, public green space for the local community. At the heart of the park is a children's play area fitted with a variety of play equipment described by the council as suitable for all ages, making it a convenient spot for families with children of different ages. Alongside the playground, the park provides a crown green bowling green for the more sedate pastime of flat-cap bowls, and a multi-use games area where visitors can play football or basketball. As a classic neighbourhood park, Tonge Park is designed primarily for everyday local recreation rather than large-scale attractions, offering open space to run around, informal ball games and a safe place for children to play close to home. There is no admission charge, and the park's combination of play, sport and open grass makes it a practical destination for after-school visits and weekend outings in east Bolton. Entry is free.
