Newsham Park

potensially a great place to spend with family but could do with a decent play area and the grass could do with being cut! Not in the best condition. And not very clean either (there is problems with litter.)

Newsham Park was the first of the celebrated trio of new parks developed to ring Victorian Liverpool. The park, which was based on designs by Edward Kemp, may represent Kemp’s first solo venture in public park design. It is surrounded by fine period architecture which was developed to fund the park layout in 1866 and includes the grade II listed Seaman’s Orphanage and Newsham House. The latter is the ‘sumptuous mansion’ where Queen Victoria stayed in 1886 and which is still in use as the ‘Judges’ Lodgings’
Only 3 stars untill the council heed their promises and carry out the refurbishment to what should be an absolute gem.
