Excellent place to enjoy the outdoors. There's a large playground for kids, and a nice walking route along the old canal as well. The view of the Mersey Gateway Bridge is superb.
A great family day out. Seasonal funfairs on the adjacent park. Great place to watch the birds, have an ice cream or coffee and a gentle walk.
What a beautiful peaceful place. Didn't know it existed. We were taken here by a friend we were visiting in the area. Boats ducks swans and even A heron were amongst the views. It was A beautiful sunny day too which made it even better. There's a cabin type thing for food drinks ice cream. The strawberry ice cream was amazing. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.
Saw those posts in a cafe shop. Had a nice walk along the water and saw a few big fish swimming there. Nice place for cycling as well. Love the view of River Mersey.
Lovely area for a revitalising walk. There are many ducks and swans in the water which are quite friendly and can be fed by purchasing some food from the Catalyst shop. There is a play park for children to enjoy and a little zip line. This is also a great area to walk the dogs while enjoying the scenery. I would recommend going for a nice relaxing walk here.
Absolutely beautiful place! Great place to go to get fresh air- especially so after lockdown! Beautiful birds as well and the canal!
A beautiful area right on the banks of the Mersey. The remains of its industrial heritage are still there including the wrecks of some "flats" (flat bottomed boats designed to carry cargo on the shallow river). Kids love the open space and the large number of extremely friendly swans and geese. There is also a well maintained play area.
Lovely place for a few hours. Lots of history to the place. Home to the Hooper Swan. Went here on a bike ride. Great views across the Mersey estuary.
