Newsham Park has sat at the heart of Tuebrook for more than 150 years.
Sprawling over 121 acres, the Grade II listed park has been described as a "hidden jewel" and the "lungs of this part of the city." But in recent years, some residents say it has been neglected.
The Victorian park opened in 1868 and is also home to the former Seaman's Orphanage which later became Newsham Park Hospital. The decline of the abandoned hospital, which is now popular with ghost hunting groups, has been well documented since its closure in the 1997.
