Green space has never been so important. Not only for our physical and mental health and wellbeing but as a way of absorbing air pollution and locking up carbon.
That's why we were excited to chat to you last year about our plans to create a brand-new public park spanning 1.9 hectares, which is roughly the same size as Liverpool and Everton Football Club's pitches combined.
You came back to us with lots of great feedback and ideas which you can read more about HERE. Last month (March) we were delighted that Liverpool City Council granted us planning permission which you can read more about HERE.
Designed as a park that offers something for everyone, the vision for Central Park is guided by five ideas which you can explore below.
1 - A place for people
A place that people will want to visit to socialise, play and relax and can be enjoyed in lots of different ways
2 - A place for nature
The opportunity for wildlife to thrive in different habitats and become a place that brings people and nature together
3 - A place for learning
Where people from all walks of life can come to learn about the site's heritage, biodiversity and its unique response to climate change
4 - A place for sustainability
Exploring ways to re-use the site's existing heritage materials such as cobbles in creative and innovative ways to minimise environmental impact and enhance the sense of place
5 - A place for water
It will bring people closer to water with walks and views along the canal, access points for water sports as well as educating people about the water cycle through the park
