"Birkenhead park was designated a conservation area in 1977 and declared a Grade I listed landscape by English Heritage in 1995. The park influenced the design of Central Park in New York and Sefton Park in Liverpool. The park contains many listed buildings. There are many historic listed lodges of various designs within the grounds of the park.
The park has a modern visitor centre, café, children's play area, woodland walks and various sporting facilities and clubs."

"The Jackson Memorial Drinking Fountain near the main entrance to Birkenhead Park is in the form of an obelisk that was made in 1860. It is in polished granite, and stands on a pedimented plinth surrounded by steps. It is dedicated to John Somerville Jackson who was instrumental in the creation of the park."

The fountain is also where lots of very friendly grey squirrels hang out 😁 They are obviously very comfortable around humans amd look like they expect to be fed by everyone who passes by 😁
