Get to know your Parks a little better
Want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city? Liverpool has acres of beautiful parks and gardens ideal for relaxation and recreation. There are over 70 parks in Liverpool, providing places for enjoyment all over the City. Many of these are featured on this website and we hope to add more in the future.
In the heart of the city there are quiet havens such as St John's Gardens, St Luke's Churchyard, Falkner Square, St James Mount and Gardens and Our Lady & St Nicholas's Churchyard. On a much grander scale are the great Victorian Parks, Princes Park, Stanley Park, Newsham Park and the internationally acclaimed Sefton Park, a 'Parisian Park' in Liverpool.
Further south lies Clarke Gardens, Springwood Memorial garden, Allerton Towers, Reynolds Park, Camp Hill and Calderstones Park, the latter noted for its feature gardens and rare trees. Walton Hall Park covers 130 acres including a lake for model boating and fishing and excellent sports provision focussed on the park sports centre.
Liverpool's largest park is Croxteth Country Park - big enough to be a tourist attraction bringing visitors to the City as well as providing a valued resource for the local community.
There are individual pages provided for many of our Parks - we hope to add to these to eventually provide a full list. Individual Park pages have an interactive Google Map 'embedded' on them. These enable you to link to the Google map website and so allow you to get directions to the Park from your own location.
Events in Parks
Listings for all our events can be found on our events pages - or on the individual page for a park. Some events cover the City Centre (provided by our Ranger Interpretation Service ).
