Lister Park – Coming Soon

A real Bradford gem – visitors can enjoy an art gallery, boating lake, café, bandstand, and well-laid-out walks past the Mughal Gardens.

Lister Park, also known as Manningham Park by locals, has something for everyone. It is picturesque and steeped in history, but it also works hard to stay relevant as a communal space.

Truly unique, this Green-Flag awarded park is home to an Islamic and Hindu architectural-style water garden, a boating lake and café, and Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, which houses a permanent display of work from Bradford-born David Hockney. Visitors can also spot various sculptures throughout the park, including Peter Pan, which sits at the centre of the lake.

As a functional space, it provides various facilities that allow communities to come together. Visitors can take advantage of the tennis courts, bowling green, and newly developed play area.
