Court Hey Park-Friends of Court Hey Park

We help organise events and recreational activities throughout the year with Knowsley Council and the National Wildflower Centre. The Friends are also compiling and maintaining historical records relating to the park and the experiences of local people and make this information available through publications, historical displays and talks, DVD and maintaining this internet site.

We are allways working to encourage more people to use the park and to raise local awareness of it’s importance.

The Friends are also working closely with all partners involved with the National Wildflower Centre, Knowsley Council and the local community.

Recently we worked with Knowsley council to manage an archaeological excavation in court hey park to discover the remains of the Gladstone family mansion - more here.
