when i moved back to liverpool in November '06 I said to my flatmate that i didn’t mind where we lived, as long as it was in one of the nice leafy suburbs in L17 next to the park. Sefton park. Reason? Well, sefton park contains 2.6km² of trees, water features and grass.
Perfect for a summers day. As has been noted in other reviews, Lark Lane is just round the corner for refreshments and food. There’s also a cafe in the middle.
Highlights: the boating lake, the palm house (with a peter pan statue), the daffodils round the eastern edge in the springtime, the slightly overgrown patches here and there and the grassy spaces for football, frisbee and barbecues.
Otterspool park is also nearby for those wanting a view of the mersey. You want more? ok, the circumference is about 2.4m/3.8km so it’s a nice run. Most people run anti-clockwise why? i’ve noticed people seem to prefer to run anticlockwise the world over. I did write “boating lake” earlier, with a half good reason. there are plans to implement the possibility of more boats on the lake in late '08, but i wouldn’t hold your breath.
Unfortunately, as if to coincide with the building work in the centre for the capital of culture, the park is being renovated after years of neglect. The lakes are being drained and many trees are being cut down and new ones replanted. Most of the big statues and monuments are also being reblitzed, so instead visitors get the opportunity to view contemporary builders fences. This doesn’t disturb much of the park at any one time though. but be warned.
