The park is approximately 7.5 hectares (18.53 acres) in size and is situated close to the popular catchment areas of Sale, Broadheath and Timperley.
The Friends of Woodheys Park have invested a considerable amount of time and effort restoring and improving the park for the surrounding area.
With more housing development occurring around it in the last three or four years this has helped increase local house prices by providing a safe place for families to meet and play.
In 2006, a fence was erected around the park by the council to improve security of the park at night, creating mixed feelings among local residents.
[2][3] The park has an 18-hole pitch and putt course, a play area for children under 7, a five a side football pitch, a smaller pitch with cricket stumps and goalposts, a meeting room available for hire, and public toilets, which are open for the duration of the park opening.
