Brilliant pics folks. I tried to get into the Stanley Park Palm House a couple of months back, but it's well secured and boarded up. About 10 years ago, I managed to gain access through a broken window.

All of those buildings in Stanley park ,including the bridge,are Grade II listed.Shame.
These are the new railings going up at Otterspool Promenade
The new pathway that's being constructed
Also a new entrance is going to be created by Jericho Lane,new benches are on their way and a childrens playground looking out over the Mersey which is well advanced,a definite improvement all round.
A NEW £160,000 children’s play area is planned for Stanley Park. more
Long as they have Tarmac on the ground I don't mind landing on my head falling off the swings again.
I fell on my head once and It didn't hurt falling on Tarmac!
Gididi Gididi Goo.

I have just joined the site.
Newsham Park was my local park along with Shiel Park.
Yes I remeber the old windmill at the top end of the boating lake and the small modeling lake. I often wondered what happend to the windmill.
I can also remember the USofA army lads at the main entrance to the park and the anti-aircraft guns in the park. As kids we would go down to the main gate (Tuebrook/West derby road & Shiel road) and ask the soldiers for chewing gum.
Not been to the park for a few years now. (note to self :- must get out more)
Phredd = never could spell Fred
Princes' Park had a couple of unique 'secrets'...the tunnel (obliterated by the development at Park Nook) and the grave of Judy the Donkey. As it's quite hard to find, here's a pic with some background to help locate the grave. Or if you want a bit of fun, just ask someone to try and find it in the Park. (I've know people walk right past it and still not see it).
I have an early memory that there used to be raillings around the grave.
Judy gets a brief mention in one of Tom Slemens (him again) stories, published in the Liverpool Echo (a couple of years ago).
