Things to do with kids in Moss Side

Moss Side offers a mix of everyday green space, books and activities for children growing into their own interests. Alexandra Park’s curved paths make room for an outdoor wander, while the smaller Moss Side Community Park has a playground identified for ages 3–10. At the Powerhouse on Raby Street, the library and youth centre bring reading, term-time stories, sports and creative youth activities into one building. The Boiler House adds a different kind of outing, with making, mending and nature-led events. Check the individual programme: a library visit, a youth club, specialist sport and a ticketed community event have different entry arrangements.
