The park is a Local Nature Reserve.
It was originally part of the Mersey flood plain, and much of the land is still very damp.
This land has now formed wet meadows, which are becoming increasingly rare in Stockport as land is drained for development.
Abney Hall is one of the few places in Stockport to feature such wetlands.
There is also a small cafe called Abney Garden Teas in the Abney Centre in the centre of the park.
In 2019 a new shared pedestrian/cycle path will be created as part of Greater Manchester's 'Bee Lines' strategy.
