PROJECT OVERVIEW

Located at Central Docks the 4.7 acre park will be one of the largest green spaces in the city and is an important part of this next stage at the Liverpool Waters Development.  Plans for the park include planting thousands of trees, community gardens, play areas as well as spaces for sports and recreation and support for wildlife.

Previously a derelict site, the Central Docks neighborhood will be a mixed use business and leisure district including a new cultural hub.
