Travellers who were evicted from their permanent site in Moses Gate, have now moved to Farnworth Central Park.
Five caravans are currently on the south west end of the park, near the A575 and Green Street.
One Traveller told The Bolton News they moved there yesterday (September 16) after previously being in Little Lever.
Since being evicted a number of Travellers have been moving to different locations around Bolton.
The Traveller said: "It's horrible having to keep moving my family around."
He said that five people are inside each of the five caravans.

The Gypsy and Traveller site in Moses Gate, where they used to live, was shut in July after the local authority applied to the courts for a closure order.
Since then Travellers have set up at numerous spots in Bolton, including in Little Lever and Breightmet.
Others have left the town but some are determined to stay in the area, with a desire to keep children at their school a key motivation for them.
Other locations which the travellers have set up camp include Meadow Bank, Breightmet, in Darcy Lever near to Beechcroft Avenue and Hollycroft Avenue and Hilltop Playing Fields near Little Lever.
Bolton Council obtained a court order to shut the site for three months.
Bolton Council has said support for the travellers includes access to reserved temporary accommodation and measures to ensure there is no disruption to school attendance among the children.
However travellers have claimed they have nowhere to go following the eviction in August.
The council alongside Greater Manchester Police, applied for the closure order citing a series of incidents at the site involving drugs, serious violent crime, and firearms and this was approved by the court.
The Travellers are appealing the eviction order.
Bolton Council have previously obtained court orders to move the Travellers after checking on their welfare.
A spokesperson for Bolton Council said: “We are aware of the traveller site at Farnworth.
“We are following the legal process to secure a direction to leave.”
