Wavertree Park

Wavertree Park (1843) became an enviable public facility in 1846, at this time Liverpool still lacked the scale of open space befitting either its municipal ambitions, or its social need. This was rectified when, between 1870 and the end of the century, some of Liverpool's largest and grandest parks were established. The century closed with the gift of Wavertree Playground (`The Mystery' of an anonymous benefactor) in 1895.

Now the home of Wavertree Athletics Centre with facilities including 8 lane athletics track with indoor training area, outside astro turf pitches, tennis courts and a 475 capacity spectator stand looking onto the athletic track.
