The People’s Garden – Repair and Maintenance

Celebrating World Wetlands Day

At Birkenhead Park we have three beautiful freshwater lakes: Upper Lake, Lower Lake, and the Figure Eight Lake. These lakes provide an oasis for wildlife amidst urban surroundings.

3 days of festivities around The Earth

We are looking for the community to get involved with the Borough of Culture celebrations 2024, hosted alongside Luke Jerram’s ‘Gaia’ artwork installation. Come join us!

Winter at Edward Kemp Community Garden

After a Summer of extreme heat and lots of rain which meant a bumper crop of apples, tomatoes and chillies, the Edward Kemp Community Garden is now starting to prepare for Winter.

Edward Kemp Community Garden’s 10th Anniversary

On Wednesday the 30th of March, the Edward Kemp Community Garden had a double celebration. Firstly the 10th birthday of the garden, postponed for a year because of Covid restrictions. The second reason was celebrating a grant from the Duchy of Lancaster.

Little Collector Crew

Over the past few months our park has been looking rather spotless, this is due to the fantastic efforts of our Park Volunteers, and one young girl has made a name for herself and is inspiring other young children to help her clean up litter!

Bio-Diversity day

On 22nd May 2017 School children from our local area are invited to the park to take part in various bio-diversity themed activities, to help raise awareness for the wonderful world around us and preserve it for generations to come.

Scouts Day

We would like to say a big thank you to all the Scouts, Sea Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Explorers and leaders who turned up on St George’s day to help the rangers with the task of revamping the forest School area.

Birkenhead Park’s 170th

On Wednesday 5th April 2017, Birkenhead Park celebrated the 170th anniversary of its opening. Luckily for us – the weather was much better than it was all the way back in 1847, when 10,000 people stood in the rain at the gates to the Grand Entrance to be officially welcomed to the World’s First Publicly Funded Park.

Lantern of Life

Back in October 2016, our ranger team organised a special event which took place in the evening around our lower lake. We invited our local community to join us in remembrance of those who are no longer with us.
