Sobre

Fatos rápidos: Percorrer esses 235 acres revela um parque vitoriano classificado como Grade I que inspirou o projeto do Central Park de Nova York. Sua majestosa Palm House, um deslumbrante conservatório de vidro com estrutura de ferro, abriga plantas exóticas de cinco continentes.

Destaques: No centro do parque fica uma réplica em tamanho real de Peter Pan, uma das apenas sete fundições encomendadas pelo próprio J.M. Barrie na década de 1920. A lenda local diz que tocar o sapato de bronze desta estátua em particular traz boa sorte, e gerações de crianças de Liverpool desgastaram os dedos dos seus pés até ficarem lisos.
