Plans To Transform Everton Park To Be Discussed

Proposals to transform Everton Park into a visitor destination are to be discussed at a Stakeholder Event tomorrow (9 October).

The event is to be held at Faith Primary School, Edwin Street, Everton.

The City Council, Liverpool Vision and Friends of Everton Park, have been working with a range of different organisations in the area over the last two to three years, including NHS Liverpool CCG Liverpool Biennial and more recently the Land Trust and Landlife, to draw up a series of proposals.

The plans include a Sky Pier visitor centre, gallery event space and café with views across the city and the River Mersey, as well as general improvements to the Park delivered by the Land Trust and supported by the Friends Group and other agencies.

A series of walks – Five Pathways – will be created and focused around the themes of food, art, lookout, activity and history which will host regular events to attract people into the park to build on the work of the Friends of Everton Park.

In May, the Council's Cabinet agreed to proposals to hand the park over to the independent land management charity The Land Trust on a long-term lease who will manage and maintain the park on a long-term basis and seek additional funding for park restoration.

The Land Trust has also secured a grant from Rethinking Parks to develop new ways to address the needs of the park and the local community.
