Bowring Park, Knowsley, Municipal park and golf course in Knowsley, United Kingdom.
Bowring Park is a public park in Knowsley that features walking paths, flower gardens, children's play areas, and an 18-hole golf course distributed across rolling green space. The layout combines recreational facilities for different interests and age groups throughout its grounds.
William Benjamin Bowring, Liverpool's first Lord Mayor, donated the Roby Hall Estate in 1907 to create this public recreational space. This gift established the foundation for the park as it exists today.
The park functions as a community gathering space where local events take place throughout the seasons. It has become an important social hub where residents regularly meet and participate together.
The park is accessible through designated parking areas and has the Coach House Café with outdoor seating for refreshments. The grounds are extensive, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended for exploring the full site.
England's first municipal golf course opened here in 1913, marking a turning point for public sports facilities in the country. This innovation made the sport accessible to a much wider audience than was previously possible.
