Right in the middle of the city, this is a lovely little park including a statute to the great Alan Turing. Enjoy a little green diversion and the peace.
Here is the national HIV memorial along with a statue of the great Allan Turin. So much history and respect to be shown in one small Park. Well with a visit, if your in Manchester.
