Birkenhead Park is an incredibly special: 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.

Lovely park to visit. Has lots of open spaces with grass and trees for picnics of dog walking. There is an awesome lake to walk round with lots of animals and nature. There is a play area for children with swings and slides. It also has a visitors centre with information about upcoming events, a cafe and public toilets. It also has quite a history, Birkenhead Park was the first public park in England and the inspiration for Central Park in New York. Well worth a visit.

Had a great walk around the lakes. So many squirrels and quite tame.

Fantastic local resource, but needs more regular park ranger or police patrols as levels of rubbish, dog fouling, and anti-social behavior seem to be increasing of late.
