St Chads Gardens

St Chad’s Gardens is one of Knowsley’s most attractive parks with a collection of mature tress, large displays of formal bedding and a rich heritage.  Enjoyed by everyone, the park provides a haven at the heart of Kirkby town centre.

Located within the Old Hall Lane conservation area, the park is a riot of colour throughout the year, with a good network of footpaths and attractive entrance features, including an archway displaying the name of the site. 

The gardens are home to a ‘weeping stone’, a key heritage feature and a laburnum arch leading to a central event space, flanked by a small building.  Park furniture and signage is provided throughout.
