Sherdley Park, Urban park in St Helens, England
Sherdley Park spans 336 acres of varied landscapes, containing woodlands, a golf course, formal gardens, grassy areas, and a lake in Sutton district.
Michael Hughes, a coal and copper industrialist, owned the estate in the 19th century and constructed Sherdley Hall before the local authority purchased it after World War II.
The park gained recognition for hosting the St Helens Show, which developed into the largest admission-free public event across Europe during its peak years.
Visitors can access an 18-hole golf course, explore walking trails through Dam Wood and Delph Wood, or observe wildlife around the lake throughout the year.
The formal gardens, established in 1953, incorporated rhododendrons from Kew Gardens, making it among the first parks outside London to feature these plants.
