Parks Team
Parks & Environment Division - who are we?
Parks & Environment looks after the management of:
10 City Parks (including Croxteth Country Park)
14 District Parks
46 Neighbourhood Parks
45 Playgrounds
3 Local Nature Reserves
There are basically four sections within the Division, with an administrative team giving central business support.
Our Estates section of Parks Officers have responsibilities for individual parks and playgrounds, with a a specialist Horticulture team and a Nature Conservation & Biodiversity team.
The Parks Development section bringing in Park improvements and projects, provide information about the Parks, including the education and events of the Ranger Service. City Floral Services provide an welcome service by 'greening up' reception areas in council offices. The current programme of work includes improvements to Parks all around the City (download the current Parks Improvement Plan![(PDF [4.7Mb] opens in new window)](/images/PDF.gif)
) as well as major projects in Sefton Park and Stanley Park.
Cemeteries and Crematoria are the fourth section within the division, maintaining graveyards and crematoria, while providing a caring service for the bereaved.
The work of Parks & Environment is guided by the Parks Strategy, a document which represents the City Council's long-term aspiration for Liverpool's rich and varied legacy of parks. It sets a direction for long-term planning, improved corporate and community co-ordination and seeks to apply a Best Value approach to future park management and improvement.
Delivery of maintenance programmes is through two joint venture partner companies, Glendale Liverpool (who look after Parks) and Enterprise Liverpool (other greenspaces).
