About this place

Fullwood Nature Reserve and Community Garden is a calm, open green space in Moorside, Oldham, where you can take a proper breath of fresh air and enjoy some genuinely lovely views of the surrounding area. It's the kind of place that feels a world away from the town centre, even though it's not far at all.

The reserve has well-maintained steps and walkways that make it easy to get around, and there's a pond on site that adds to the natural feel of the place. A large area is set aside for football, which younger visitors tend to make very good use of, and the open space means dogs can be let off the lead without too much worry about crowds.

The site is run with the help of volunteers, and the community spirit behind it really shows in how it's kept. It's open around the clock every day of the week, so you can pop in whenever suits you, whether that's an early morning walk or a late afternoon kick-about.
