Developing a new vision for Birkenhead Park, the pioneering People’s Park

Birkenhead Park is approaching its 180th anniversary, a milestone that will coincide with its nomination for UNESCO World Heritage status in 2027 and aligns with the wider regeneration of Birkenhead. These converging opportunities make this the critical moment to shape the vision for the park's future. This will take the form of a long-term development plan that: - honours the park’s historic character, addresses its current condition, and improves facilities for our communities; - responds to the challenges of climate change and enhances biodiversity; - strengthens the resilience of the park’s management, and supports its journey toward World Heritage recognition; and - is shaped by the voices, needs, and ongoing involvement of the park’s communities who cherish it. The legacy will be an empowered community and an ambitious plan that together drive the park’s continued growth. These will be the foundation for an ambitious future programme of investment and delivery.
