Wirral Council public parks remain open for people to use for exercise. Visitor centres, enclosed sports pitches and outdoor gyms remain closed. It is vital that visits to any of our parks follow the latest government rules, particularly those on social distancing.
Children's playgrounds
Children’s playgrounds began to reopen from Saturday 18 July. All council-owned playgrounds are now open except the following 9 playgrounds:
Playgrounds which will remain closed include:
- Whitfield Common
- Eastham Rake
- Wheatland lane
- Price Street
- Rose Brae
- Queens Par
These playgrounds will remain closed after safety checks revealed the need for urgent repairs - some caused by vandalism.
If you visit these play areas please follow the guidance and precautions to keep as safe as possible.
West Kirby Marine Lake walkway
The walkway around West Kirby Marine Lake reopened to the public on 4 July. Social distancing remains crucial and signage has been installed along the walkway and at each entrance as a reminder to walkers. If the walkway is busy, consider visiting at a quieter time or come back another day. It’s harder, if not impossible, to social distance if the walkway is crowded.
Golf courses
All four Wirral Council municipal golf courses have now reopened.
Bowling Greens
All bowling greens are now open.
