Police have established that the bones are human but have taped off an area of the reserve while they continue to investigate.
A spokesperson for GMP said: "Police were called just before 3pm yesterday to an area close to Aspinall Way, Futura Park, Horwich, to a report of bones having being discovered.
"The bones have since been confirmed as human and enquiries are currently ongoing.
"A scene remains in place."
