Newsham Park, Grade II listed park in Liverpool, England
Newsham Park is a 121-acre green space in Liverpool featuring two large lakes and various recreational facilities. The park offers opportunities for fishing, model boat sailing, and other activities across its waterside areas and wooded sections.
The park was created in 1868 as Edward Kemp's first independent project, influenced by the design principles of Joseph Paxton. It reflects the landscape gardening philosophy of the late 1800s as put into practice.
The orphanage building within the grounds tells of Liverpool's maritime past and its commitment to caring for children of seafaring families. Its presence and transformation reflect how the city addressed the needs of vulnerable members of its community.
The park can be accessed through multiple entrances on Sheil Road, Prescot Road, and West Derby Road with parking available nearby. Visitors should bring appropriate clothing and gear depending on weather and planned activities like fishing or walking.
The Grade II listed Newsham House, which once hosted Queen Victoria, now serves as accommodation for judges attending Liverpool Crown Court. This unexpected use connects its royal past with modern justice proceedings.
