Leverhulme Park is the largest park in the town of Bolton, Greater Manchester. It was donated to the people of Bolton by, and named after, the late Lord Leverhulme. The park is bounded by the Breightmet, Darcy Lever, the Haulgh, and Tonge Fold. Since its earlier days as simply a park, Leverhulme Park has diversified. It is now home to a community centre,[2] an athletics stadium[3] and five-a-side football pitches.[4] It was also the home to the Bolton Show which ran intermittently for more than fifty years.
