Sport and Physical Activity

Trafford’s international sporting and cultural heritage is second to none. Home to the world famous Old Trafford football stadium and Lancashire County Cricket Club’s Emirates Old Trafford ground, sport has and continues to be a key focus for the Borough.

With many outstanding amateur sports clubs, parks, recreation and green spaces, popular leisure centres, golf courses and an indoor ‘real snow’ ski slope there is plenty of variety for all to enjoy, as well as events such as the Tour of Britain seeing top-level cyclists and the Manchester Marathon coming through the Borough.
