Public pools in Birkenhead

“Our littlest had his first swimming lesson today, and Dan was brilliant with him. He isn’t really a nervous child, but was nervous about going in without me. Dan made loads of reassuring eye contact and my little one joined in with the whole lesson and is excited to go back tomorrow. Thanks Dan!”

“One of my favourite parks on the Wirral. Plenty of paths to walk along. There are many wide open spaces to sit on the grass, spend good time under a tree. It's got some small lakes with ducks and some swans. Saturday morning it's Parkrun, always a good turnout”

“Its got a good pool and a great large open gym. The staff are all helpful and friendly and you get a free pass for the carparks. Its also only a couple of minutes walk from both Conway Park station and the main bus station. Overall, I couldn't fault it even if I wanted to.”

“Amazing dog park, best one we've been to. The dogs had a field day :D Even the kids enjoyed it (dog-walking is usually pretty far down the list of favoured activities). The whole area was super secure, remarkably clean and tidy and with plenty of well-placed poo-bins and water bowls. It was especially good being able to drive in through the gate to unload/load as it can be tricky getting multiple dogs in and out safely. The setting is beautiful and it was very peaceful and quiet when we were there on a Sunday afternoon. Everything was very well thought out and set-up. The splash and dash field included an agility area, picnic tables, benches, etc. The pond / swimming area was fabulous and loved by our Leonberger and Labrador, especially. We'll definitely be back!”

“Lovely place for circular walk amongst the trees, with interesting history and fantastic little quirky cafe.”

“Really great area for walks, runs, or walking the dog. It has a perfect balance between accessible walkways and nature. Able to claim the summit to get great views from up high, but even without hiking to the top, simply walking alongside the river Mersey allows a beautiful view of the Liverpool skyline. Famous landmarks are visible such as the Cathedral and the Liver building. To the side of the park is a small beach area.”

“All types of terrain for all ages and abilities. A hidden gem, fallen trees left alone, nothing manicured and well maintained path, step and boardwalks. If you are passing through this neck of the country, would highly recommend.”

“Love it here so much and right on my front door step!”

“Only a field with a couple of goal posts. Pleasant walk around there though. Think there were seats too No toilets though”

“A good place to walk your dog on or off lead in a safe environment. If you have children there is a kids play area which is very popular. Don't miss the rose gardens either a nice place to walk around or if you need to sit down there are plenty of benches to sit down on.Sainsburys Aldi Home Bargain and a few little cafes within 5 minutes walk from the Oxton Fields.Well worth a visit.”

“Very informative tour of the baths with its history. Well worth the visit I felt. Well done to the staff and volunteers.”

“Kids loved our little adventure there will go back”

“Good size field and woods to keep out the sun for dog , gets waterlogged november to April though”

“Some really nice equipment for kids big and small. Particularly interesting stone built bridge and slide. Lots of nice natural features like big stepping stones. Nice small kids climbing frame.”

“Birkenhead Park is brilliant. Came across this little bridge over the water. Lots of wildlife. Very relaxing.”
