Revered as the world’s first publicly funded park, Birkenhead Park is more than a local treasure, it’s a global landmark in landscape design and civic planning. Opened in 1847 and designed by Joseph Paxton, the park became the model for countless others around the world, including New York’s Central Park.

Historic and contemporary artworks and photographs
Rare maps and planning documents
Expert talks and walking tours
Insights into its impact on modern urban planning

It’s a must-see for history buffs, landscape lovers, urbanists, and anyone fascinated by how spaces shape our lives.
