Walton Hall Park

Walton Hall Park lies in Walton, a northern district of Liverpool. It covers 130 acres and opened to the public on 18 July 1934 when King George V performed the ceremony during his visit to open the Queensway Tunnel. The park’s name recalls Henry de Walton, who served as steward of the West Derby hundred in 1199. Two lakes form the heart of the site, one large and one small, each offering different scenes. The larger lake holds two islands and supports several large carps, bream, tench, skimmer bream, roach and perch. The smaller lake is circled by a continuous footpath that invites gentle strolls. From September 2019 until June 2025, Everton F.C. Women of the FA Women’s Super League played their home games at the main grandstand. Visitors find wide lawns, mature trees and the two lakes framed by gently sloping banks. The main grandstand overlooks the larger lake, giving views across the water to the islands. The perimeter path around the smaller lake allows close observation of waterfowl and fish. The park’s open spaces and quiet corners provide places for picnics, dog walking and children’s play.
