Welcome

The Friends of Birkenhead Park was formed in 1976 by Lord (Griff) Evans of Claughton, as he perceived the need for someone to speak for the interests of the Park, which he clearly saw as part of our national heritage. Still going strong, the Friends play a vital role in helping the Park staff and liaise closely with the local authority on matters concerning the Park.

That which is good should be preserved!

QAVS

It was with great pride the Friends of Birkenhead Park received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service on 2nd June 2021. This is the highest sector award and the Friends are immensely proud of all our volunteers who help keep Birkenhead Park in the finest of condition.

Architecture

Throughout the Park there is something wonderful to see around every corner. From the Grand Entrance to the modern day Visitor Centre, from elaborate Lodges to simple tree lined banks and lakes there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Joseph Paxton

Joseph Paxton, the man responsible for the laying out, construction and design of the Park. This was one of many parks that Paxton went on to design throughout the country.
