Prince's Park

Prince’s Park was established in the 19th Century by developer Richard Vaughan Yates who purchased the land from Lord Sefton for £50,000

Yates planned to site grand houses on the park’s perimeter which, once sold, would cover the costs for landscaping and laying out the park.

Joseph Paxton was engaged to design the park which incorporates many features associated with his other developments such as a lake, perimeter carriage drive, grand entrances and footpaths.

The park opened in 1842 and completed in 1843 was named after the then newly born Edward Prince of Wales.

In 2009 the park had it status upgraded to a Grade II* Historic Park by English Heritage, making it one of three such parks in the city, along with Sefton Park and Anfield Cemetery. English Heritage gave four reasons for upgrading the park's status. These were that it was the first major park created by Paxton, and that it inspired other designers, who incorporated elements of the park in other urban parks throughout the United Kingdom. In addition, the original look of the park is still intact and it is also an important example of a green haven in a city setting.
