Sefton Park, Liverpool

Fantastic place. It was special day in support of the Fantastic Palm House upkeep. We had never visited here before. The whole park is immaculately maintained. With very large lake ,magnificent bronze sculptures and fountain. There was live music from a group of older rockers at the band stand. Beatles numbers naturally!! That setting is ideal as the sound is muted from the whole park but projects out to a "Grassy knoll " ( where have I heard that before).ideal for a picnic. Tennis, Bowling clubs and model boating on the lake Sunday mornings. Throw in a Great children's play area. A perfect place to spend a few hours. Rounded off with a cuppa or endless selection of ice cream and snacks at the Cafe In The Park. Finally unbelievably Free parking. How soon can we get back there??. 40 mile round trip but well worth it ***** stars.

Beautifully laid out Park with sweeping paths around a range of water features. Well restored palm house with Peter Pan amongst many statues. Don't miss the cupid statue in the centre of the park. Good cafe the centre, great lakes and a recently restored band stand. Palm House id a wonderful peaceful space. Occasionally used as a venue for music, fireworks and festivals.
