Atherleigh Park Hospital is a mental health facility at the former Leigh East rugby league ground on Atherleigh Way in Leigh, Manchester, England. It is managed by Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
The hospital was intended to replace the aging mental health facilities at Leigh Infirmary which were established in 1906 and were no longer considered functional.[1] Work on site started in January 2015.[2] The new building was designed by AFL Architects,[3] built by Kier Group at a cost of £40 million and opened in March 2017.[4]
