It's Your World: Environmental exhibition to celebrate Wirral’s landscape
Sep 2 2009 by Jade Wright, Birkenhead News
In 1850 FL Olmsted visited the park as part of a tour of Europe. Olmsted later became famous as the designer of Central Park, New York into which he incorporated many of the features he first observed in Birkenhead Park.
Paxton's original design remains largely intact. In 1977 the park was designated a Conservation Area and in 1995 declared a Grade 1 Listed Landscape by English Heritage.
Birkenhead Park Visitor Centre, Park Drive, Birkenhead CH41 4HY. For further enquiries 0151 652 5197.
