Pilkington Park is an electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, in Greater Manchester, England, lying to the north of Bury town centre. It is largely suburban with a mix of housing from different periods, pockets of green space and local shops and schools, and is within easy commuting distance of Manchester.
The ward takes its name from a nearby public park and reflects the wider borough’s industrial past alongside more recent residential development; the local economy is mainly service and retail oriented, with community groups and recreational facilities playing a strong role in neighbourhood life. Residents tend to make use of both local amenities and the larger employment and cultural offer of the surrounding conurbation.
