Princes Park, Victorian urban park in Toxteth, England.

The 45-hectare park contains a serpentine lake with an island, surrounded by a circular carriage drive and green spaces for recreation.

Joseph Paxton and James Pennethorne designed this park in 1842, establishing a layout that influenced the creation of Victorian parks across England.

The park features an obelisk commemorating Richard Vaughan Yates, who funded the development and later donated the grounds to Liverpool.

Visitors can access tennis courts, fishing spots with proper permits, and participate in weekly parkrun events that attract hundreds of participants.

A 1926 gravestone marks the resting place of Judy, a donkey that provided rides to children in the park for 21 years.
