A new park the size of Anfield and Goodison's pitches combined could be built in the city’s north docks and form the next stage of the Liverpool Waters development.
Developers Peel L&P hope to build the almost five acre ‘Central Park’ south of Collingwood Dock near to the Tobacco Warehouse and Titanic Hotel, with Everton’s new stadium at Bramley Moore situated just north of the proposed site. If approved the new park would be one of the city’s largest and a significant addition of green space to Kirkdale and the adjoining city centre area.
According to Peel L&P, Central Park would bring direct access to parts of the Leeds Liverpool Canal for the first time in a number of years, with a section running from Canning Dock toward Waterloo Dock, Princes Dock and the Three Graces. The plans would also open up the central dockland area to the public - somewhere that has remained largely derelict since the city’s historic docks closed.
