Traveler reviews
Michael Porter
★★★★★7 years agoBeautiful park that separates two great football teams. Goodison Park and Anfield. The homes of Everton FC and Liverpool FC.
Tom Smith
★★★★★4 years agoA beautiful and extensive park in the heart of the community. If only people would dispose of there refuse more carefully then this place would be idylic. Love seeing the swans on the lake.
