    Huimphrey Park is between Urmston and Trafford Park.

    But none are that close - if you check out the Trafford Centre website it provides all the transport options and a map, and the train option recommends travelling to a main central Manchester station and then getting a tram/bus

    By Train;
    Nearest stations:

    Manchester Piccadilly: Then catch the express X50 or 250 bus from Piccadilly Gardens bus station or hop on a tram to Stretford and connect to our Metrolink Shuttle bus.

    Manchester Victoria: Then catch bus 100 or 110.

    Salford Crescent: Then catch bus 100.

    Urmston: Then catch bus 22 or 23.
