About Redwood Park
Redwood Park is a small 'pocket park' on the Pemberton and Orrell border in the west of Wigan, held as a Wigan Council green space. It is split into two sections: a larger, well-tended garden-style area that is popular with local residents, and a smaller section with a children's playground. The play area is modest, with swings, a slide and a small roundabout, and is best suited to very young children, as it is too small for most over-5s. The garden section gives the park a quiet, cared-for feel and makes it a pleasant spot for a short stroll as well as a play stop. As a pocket park it is very much a local amenity for the surrounding Orrell and Pemberton streets rather than a destination for a full day out. We don't have confirmed details on toilets, parking or a cafe here, so families should bring their own refreshments and plan facilities ahead. For parents of toddlers in this part of Wigan, Redwood Park is a convenient, free and low-key place to let little ones play.
