01516664701Ashton Park was laid out in 1899, its five hectares are divided into upper and lower parks by the Wirral Way, one of Britain’s first country parks. The park offers diverse facilities intended to meet the public’s need for both passive and active recreation. It includes two bowling greens, grass and tarmac tennis courts, junior football pitch, recently constructed Multi Use Games Area and children’s play area for the more active and formal and informal gardens in association with a lake for gentle relaxation. The ‘friends’ run a Tea- shop at weekends throughout the year and with a quality events programme assist with funding for further improvements.
