About

Stanley Park is a 110‑acre, Grade II* listed Victorian park in north Liverpool, famed for separating the home grounds of Liverpool FC and Everton FC. Designed by Edward Kemp and opened in 1870, it combines formal gardens, lakes, and sweeping lawns with grand sandstone pavilions and ornate bedding displays. At its heart stands the restored Isla Gladstone Conservatory, a striking glasshouse set amid rose gardens, now a venue for events, dining, and matchday hospitality. The park’s tree‑lined avenues, ornamental bridges, and historic bandstand create a picturesque setting for walking, running, and community gatherings, while its lakes attract anglers and wildlife enthusiasts. Over its long history, Stanley Park has been a place of leisure, sport, and civic pride, offering a green retreat within the city and a living link to Liverpool’s Victorian heritage.
