Leisure

St Luke's Church in Weaste is grade two listed, which puts it among the top 10% of buildings in England. Prominent because of its position and its slender, continental-style spire, it stands on a small green hill beside Liverpool Street - and is known locally as 'the church on the hill'.

Claremont and Weaste are notable for their parks. Buile Hill Park - the city's flagship park - is situated within the area, as are Lightoaks and Oakwood Parks. Clarendon, Eccles and Pendlebury leisure centres, and the watersports centre at Salford Quays are close to the area.
