You know I've been coming here since the 60s as a little boy , I'm nearly 64 now ! Back in the 70s my dad worked here , where the sports centre is there used to be a brick hut where you could pay to use the putting green , the tennis courts , there was boating on the big lake , as we were his kids , all 6 of us , now and again we'd get something for free!. In front of his hut we're two manicured bowling greens surrounded by flowers 💐 in the corner not far from where the house is there used to be an avery and a pets corner. And over the other side was a bandstand, the remnants are still there .People would come from miles around to spend the day here with picnics and play games .It was a truly wonderful place! In fact, my now wife lived in Alderville Road just over the avenue. When we were courting, we'd spend hours there just talking , walking,the usual stuff , that was way back in 1982 ! But sadly, like most of the Liverpool I grew up in, it's not the same anymore 😕 it still is a lovely park, and I walk it every weekend , but I wish people were able to see it like it...
