Sefton Park

Sefton Park is in south Liverpool, England. In 1867 Frenchman, Edouard Andr won the competition to design the park, work on the design was also done by Lewis Hornblower. The park is 640 acres (2.6 km²) in area, the site had been purchased by the Liverpool City Council for 250,000 from the Earl of Sefton. It has tennis courts, a lake (formerly used for boating) and recently restored Palm House. For some time there was a model pirate ship until it fell apart with age. A statue of Peter Pan was recently taken away for restoration and can currently been seen at Liverpool's Conservation Centre. The park had a gallops which led to it being nick named the Hyde Park of the north. A road runs around the perimeter, though a bridge across the Dell is closed to cars. The perimeter road's outer edge is lined with impressive Victorian and Edwardian houses. Some split into flats and others Hotels. Various tree lined avenues split the park into large sections both grassed and wooded areas. At the centre of the park is a small cafe and there used to be an aviary. It is a popular jogging circuit and local league association football is a regular weekend fixture. It has also been a site for Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra's summer pops season, Africa Oye and the Moscow State circus.
