Mesnes Park (English: /ˈmeɪnz ˈpɑːk/(Mains) is a Victorian public park dating from 1878 in Wigan, Greater Manchester, UK.
The elongated 12 hectares (30 acres) park lies to the north-west of Wigan town centre with its main entrance at the junction of Bridgeman Terrace and Mesnes Park Terrace. It comprises formal flower beds in grass lawns, a pool, children's playgrounds, mini golf, sports grounds and a café.
It has recently undergone a multi-million pound restoration after receiving a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
