Sale Water Park

Sale Water Park Lake

Sale Water Park facility, just off junc. 6 of the M60, provides water sports, a Nature Reserve and large areas of paths and woods for walking.

By following the River Mersey towpath you can travel for miles in both directions. For more info on the Water Park, water sports, the area, its wildlife and coming events being held by the wardens see the links at the top of this page.

With the building of the M63 motor-way in 1972, the extraction of gravel at Sale left a large water-filled hole of about 35 acres.

The lake and surrounding area was developed and in May 1980 it was opened as a Water Park. Trafford Leisure Services operate a programme of activities throughout the year for the public, groups and clubs. Details and conditions of use of the lake are available at the Water Sports Centre where everyone wishing to use the lake must report to.

Open Swimming at Sale Water Park

Open Swim UK run 4 sessions of open water swimming every week between April and September at Sale Water Park.

Horse Riding

Horse Riding

There are several riding schools in the Sale area. With traffic on the roads being so bad these days, riders are having to keep to bridle paths and suitable 'horse-friendly' areas.
