Officers are investigating suspicious circumstances at Heaton Park.
At around 9.15pm yesterday evening, 5 November, police were alerted by security staff to a possible abduction of a child.
Disruption was caused as vehicles leaving the park were subjected to searches.
Greater Manchester Police said officers had been working through the night to corroborate the report but the evidence available at this time does not suggest that a child has been abducted.
Enquiries into the incident are ongoing.
