Coalshaw Green is a locality in the town of Chadderton in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester.

Lying 1.8 miles south of Chadderton town centre, Coalshaw Green was formerly an archaic hamlet located in the south east of the township around the junction of Turf Lane and Drury Lane, and forms a contiguous urban area with Butler Green, Whitegate and Hollinwood.

[3] Historical records also mention Coalshaw Green in 1672 when a right of way through 'Coleshaw Lane' was established on payment of a half penny a year.

The park was officially opened by Miss Lees, using a gold key, on 25 May 1912 in the presence of Councillor Joseph Hilton, Chairman of the Urban District Council, and other dignitaries.

Before the ceremony, a large procession led by Chadderton Brass Band, made its way from Stanley Road School through streets bedecked with flags.

Much of its redevelopment in recent years has been due to the enthusiasm of Barbara Wilson MBE, and her dedicated group of 'Friends' of the park.

The proposed development, however, ran into local opposition as the site included the Coalshaw Green playing fields.

The fields, which adjoined Coalshaw Green Park, had been in continuous use by amateur and school football teams for generations and was considered to be one of the best playing surfaces in the area.
