The days are getting warmer and the nights are getting shorter. That means we're entering peak park.
This weekend is expected to be a scorcher, and the parks of Merseyside will be packed. There'll be lolly ices as far as the eye can see.
We're lucky, of course, to have some of the best parks in the UK, from Birkenhead Park, the first publicly funded park in the country - and inspiration for the design of New York's Central Park - to the Victorian Botanic Gardens in Southport.
