It is located a little under one mile to the west of Chadderton's commercial centre on Middleton Road and is contiguous with the [Mills Hill](/source/Mills_Hill) and [Firwood Park](/source/Firwood_Park) areas of the town. Semi-rural [Chadderton Fold](/source/Chadderton#Early_history) lies to the north. ## History Now a suburban area of Chadderton, Chadderton Park was an area of extensive parkland lying to the south of the now demolished [Chadderton Hall](/source/Chadderton_Hall_Park) manor house and was an area that stretched south as far as Middleton Road. Archery contests were a frequent event on the parkland in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The parkland also drew large crowds of spectators for cavalry reviews during this period.[1][2] In 1912 the land was used by the now defunct Chadderton Golf Club, a nine-hole course. The course lay opposite what later became [Chadderton Hall Park](/source/Chadderton_Hall_Park). After the First World War the club moved to a new course at Acres near Mills Hill. The club's affairs were wound up in 1942.[3] At the outbreak of the First World War the land was taken over by the military authorities for an army camp — the Chadderton Army Camp.[3][4] ## Transport [Bee Network](/source/Bee_Network) provide the following bus services in the area: 59 to [Manchester city centre](/source/Manchester_city_centre) via Middleton and [Cheetham Hill](/source/Cheetham_Hill) and to [Oldham](/source/Oldham), 396 to Middleton and to [Ashton-under-Lyne](/source/Ashton-under-Lyne) via Chadderton town centre, [Werneth](/source/Werneth%2C_Greater_Manchester) and [Bardsley](/source/Bardsley%2C_Greater_Manchester). ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Chadderton Hall"](https://web.archive.org/web/20010128191100/http://www.chadderton-hs.freeuk.com/page1-chadd-hall.htm).
