Keeping kids busy during the school holidays can be a challenge for parents and guardians<\/a>, especially when the weather has been wet and rainy like it has for the past few days.<\/p>\n Luckily there are lots of family-friendly activities and events taking place across Greater Manchester<\/a> in the coming weeks, which means there\u2019s no danger of little ones being bored.<\/p>\n When the sun does come out a great option is enjoying a trip out to your local park.<\/p>\n According to the latest forecast from the Met Office Manchester can expect sunny intervals throughout today (July 25) – with no sign of rain – so it\u2019s a good idea to make the most of it and get outside.<\/p>\n Stay connected with our City Life newsletter here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Nestled by the River Mersey in South Manchester is Chorlton<\/a> Water Park, an excellent spot to take both big and little kids this summer.<\/p>\n At the heart of the park is a lake which is teeming with wildlife and little ones will love to spot the majestic swans and cheeky ducks.<\/p>\n The park has a large playground with views across the water. It features a climbing frame, swings, slides and more so it\u2019s a great way for kids to burn up energy while having fun.<\/p>\n Throughout the park are dozens of picnic spots, including a large patch of grass at the entrance and secluded spots under the trees dotted around the edge of the water.<\/p>\n Bringing your own food and drink to the park helps keep costs down and as we all know summer holidays can be expensive for parents. Having a picnic outsode also adds to the sense of adventure for little ones.<\/p>\n Join our Family WhatsApp group HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n But if you do fancy a treat, an ice cream van can usually be found parked up by the lake and is guaranteed to put a smile on little ones\u2019 faces.<\/p>\n![\"Chorlton](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1753421477_983_0_Review-of-the-Meeting-Place-Cafe-Tibetan-Kitchen-Chorlton-Water-Park.jpg\")
