A former school, country park stables and 24 acres of green belt grazing fields are among 30 land and buildings assets Bury Council hope to dispose of.
The council has revealed a list of its assets it plans to sell or transfer to community use under the second phase of its 'accelerated land and property disposals programme'.
In a report to the council's cabinet, Paul Lakin, the council's director of regeneration and capital growth, said: "The council wishes to take active steps to rationalise its land and buildings.
"Many of its property assets are being seen as surplus to requirements."
Among the assets being marketed are 23.5 acres of land off Broad Oak Lane and Bridge Hall Lane described as 'grazing land let on licence in the green belt'.
The site of the now demolished Millwood School, in Fletcher Fold Road, Bury, is also on the list for disposal along with land between 205-211 Bury Old Road, Prestwich and a landscaped green area at Chesham Road and Hilton Street in Bury.
The 3,000 sq ft stable building and orangery at Philips Park is also on the list.
The report, states: "Philips Park is an underutilised country park between Whitefield and Prestwich.
"There is a licensed tenant granted use of one of the stable blocks, the National Cycling Academy.
"The building's condition is not good, a fire years ago has caused instability.
"An existing community group maintains areas throughout the park on a voluntary capacity and we have had several approaches from community groups to utilise the land."
At a meeting of Bury's cabinet leadership which approved the plans, council leader Eamonn O'Brien, said: "The word 'disposal' sounds quite harsh, quite sharp, but the public can be assured this is being done in a strategic way with consultation of ward members and those nearby.
"We want to make sure we get appropriate disposals in the interests of the council and the wider borough.
"This report includes the potential for very significant capital receipts into the council.
"This will be re-invested into our townships for regeneration but that is not the only value we will out on these site.
"It is important we get community engagement, we will balance the need for capital receipts and get what's right for communities."
The report added that disposal of the property assets will be through a range of methods such as land transaction, auction, marketed through an agent and community asset transfer.
Coun Alan Quinn told the meeting that talks had taken place between the council and the Friends of Philips Park and The National Cycling Academy about the future of the stables property but that any other party interested would also be given the opportunity to enquire.
Opposition Conservative leader, Coun Nick Jones, said he had concerns about how the plots could be used if bought by developers and said it was key for communities to be involved in decision making about the future of the assets.
He said some of the plots were 'green spaces in the middle of housing estates' and that it was important that they remained that way.
