*************

Whitworth Park is a public park in south Manchester, United Kingdom. The Whitworth Art Gallery and some of the University of Manchester student residences, popularly known as "Toblerones", are located there. It was historically in Chorlton on Medlock but is now included in the Moss Side ward.

The actual park, of some 18 acres (7 ha), situated opposite Manchester Royal Infirmary, was opened in 1890 on a piece of land known as Potters Field. The park was leased to the Corporation of Manchester by the Whitworth Trustees in October 1904 on a 1000-year lease for a nominal annual rent of £10. A statue of King Edward VII on the east side of the park (unveiled in 1913) commemorates the royal visit when the new Royal Infirmary buildings were opened in 1909.
