Sefton Park

Such a lovely walk through Sefton Park. Great parking with a real continental vibe, grab a coffee and a bite to eat in the cafe or nice ice cream shop… you won’t be disappointed… plenty of green space , lake and play areas for the kids.

Great stroll in the park during school holidays - didn’t realise how big it actually is, thinking you were somewhere else and not in city of Liverpool.. Also with a nice little cafe and toilet area too with park very tidy considering amount of people that there was..

With the exception of the palm house which is great, the park itself was mediocre. I was lead to believe it was so much more. We had a nice walk through it enroute to Lark Lane but it all seemed bland.

Sefton Park is a beautiful green oasis & the perfect place to relax while exploring Liverpool. The peaceful lakes, scenic walking paths & stunning Palm House create a wonderful atmosphere for a leisurely stroll. A well-maintained park that’s ideal for nature lovers & anyone looking to escape the bustle of the city.

A very beautiful park with wonderful vistas around a lovely lake is a special jewel. The Orangery is exceptional.

I visited for the first time at Easter this year and I really thought the park was beautiful. There are several car parks and all were busy. There is a lake, cafe, and lots of lovely areas in which to walk, fountains, lovely statues, and the blossom trees were beautiful. The palm house was stunning.

The park dates back to the mid 1800s, a time when Liverpool was the second-largest city in the British Empire. Arthur of Saxe-Coburg, who opened the park in 1872, described it as good "for the health and pleasure of the townspeople." Central to the design are two streams flowing through an artificial lake. Surrounding the park are green zones, trees, and shrubs, crisscrossed by walking paths. Notable features include an obelisk at the northern entrance and a beautiful palm house with a café inside. The park is within walking distance of the city center: 4 km southeast of Liverpool Lime Street station.

Went there for a race and it was very good

As I dog owner I believe its important to ensure my border collie is under my control. Sadly , as much as a love Sefton park there are far to many out of control dogs. I kept mine on his lead as I'm considerate of other people who might be scared of or not like dogs and other dog walkers. We were approached by 4 dogs in 30 mins. Our dog has been trained not to react but clearly some owners don't have control. One labs owner instructing me to pull his dog away by its collar!!! Other dogs diving into the lake. Frightened toddlers being approached by dogs nearly as big as them. I saw 2 people arguing about 2 dogs who were fighting over a ball. Sefton council introduced new policies in 2024 including "Dogs to be kept on a lead within defined picnic sites and family areas in parks." This is clearly not being enforced and when I told the labs owner that his fog should be on a lead and under control as per Sefton Council Policy I was met with a barrage of verbal abuse. Off lead dogs where everywhere. As a long time dog owner I'm very aware of others and that parks are for everyone. I won't be returning anytime soon. Such a shame as its a lovely park.

We love this place! It’s a wonderful setting, especially wandering round the lake. The Palm House is amazing. Nice places for coffee and cakes.

Therapeutic place to be! Absolutely serene 💚

Watch out for rats !

Lovely experience with beautiful flowers. Knowledgeable staff

Sefton Park is a stunning urban oasis with beautiful lakeside paths, a diverse array of plants, and a charming boating lake. It's a perfect escape from city life, great for picnics, leisurely walks, and enjoying nature. Don't miss the Palm House and the Japanese Gardens. Highly recommended!

Beautiful park, good for long walks, cycling.

My favorite place ever. The most beautiful park in Liverpool

Sefton Park in Liverpool is the city's largest historic public park. Entry is free, and it's family-friendly, featuring swings. The park also includes the Palm House, a Victorian glass building housing a variety of rare plants, which also offers free admission. Ponds and lakes provide a habitat for birds. The park also boasts the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, a statue of Peter Pan, and other attractions. Visitors can walk, jog, play sports, relax, and take memorable photos amidst the expansive green spaces. It's well worth a visit, and free parking is available.
