Philips Park (Red) - The Black Dog Trail
- The Red trail is 3.5 km long, starts at the car park, and features sweeping berms, jumps, tabletops, and tricky ascents and descents. It forms two loops in a figure of eight: the North Wood loop (anti-clockwise) and the South Wood loop (clockwise). The trail surface was refreshed and new features added in early 2026 in partnership with Dirt Factory.
Waterdale (Blue)
- A 3 km Blue graded purpose-built singletrack through flowing woodland, suitable for beginners and novices. There is a link from the Philips Park trail connecting it to Waterdale.
Getting Here
- The main car park is on Park Lane, Whitefield, M45 7QJ. Cyclists can also approach via the Irwell Valley cycle route.
