Birkenhead Park / Wirral / England

Birkenhead Park is an incredibly special place: a masterpiece of landscape design. Since it opened in 1847, this extensive parkland has provided a much-needed sanctuary for people to escape the busy urban environment. The Park's designer, Joseph Paxton, created a place which replicated the pastoral countryside, while at the same time incorporating an assortment of features such as lodges, bridges, and a boathouse. All this is still very much evident today, and visitors can enjoy the delights of the varied landscape - the open meadows and the intimate lakeside walks - and discover the parkland’s many treasures.
The Park offers a wide range of facilities, including a Visitor Centre with a café, a playground for children, beautiful woodland walks, a fitness trail, two cricket clubs, tennis courts, bowling greens, football pitches and 2 large fishing lakes.
A day out at Birkenhead Park offers something for everyone, and all within the grounds of one of the most important public parks in the world!

Beautiful park!
Birkenhead Park is generally acknowledged as the first publicly funded civic park in the world (at 1847) and influenced the design of Central Park in New York.
