A grade 1 listed area of parkland Sefton Park is much loved by the locals. Designed to look natural there has been landscaping done here but it's well designed and feels nice to walk around. Carpets of daffodils and bluebells are planted to flower in spring. The curving paths and driveways make the most of the features and visit the boating lake complete with ornamental fountain and the glass palm house.

There is a cafe.

"The site of the park was once within the boundaries of the 2,300-acre Royal Deer Park of Toxteth which became "disparked" in 1591. The land eventually came under the Earl of Sefton's control.

In 1867 the Council purchased 375 acres of land of the park's development for £250,000 from the Earl of Sefton.

Sefton Park is one of the largest in the "ribbon of Parks" originally envisaged in 1850s by the Liverpool Improvement Committee and which came eventually to include Newsham and Stanley Parks. A European competition was launched to design a grand park. 29 entries were received and the competition was won by a French landscape architect Édouard André with work on the design also undertaken by Liverpool architect Lewis Hornblower. The park was opened on 20 May 1872 by Prince Arthur who dedicated it "for the health and enjoyment of the townspeople".
