About Daisy Nook Country Park
Daisy Nook Country Park sits off Stannybrook Road near Failsworth and is jointly managed by Oldham and Tameside Councils, with the Oldham Council environmental services team among its contacts. The park is centred on the John Howarth Countryside Centre and offers a rural landscape of woodland, water and open space crossed by walking trails and cycling routes, popular for orienteering, bird watching and pond dipping. For families with young children there is a children's play area that includes sand play and a basket swing, the latter providing accessible play suitable for disabled children. A cafe operates seven days a week, except Christmas Day, and provides toilet facilities, so there is somewhere to pause for refreshments on a visit. Car parking is available for those arriving by car. Entry to the country park is free and it is open to the public. The combination of countryside walks, nature activities, a play area and a daily cafe makes Daisy Nook a well-rounded destination for family days out on the southern edge of the Oldham borough, close to the boundary with Tameside.
