Festival Gardens

At Otterspool Promenade see stunning views across the River Mersey and beyond. Pass through Festival Gardens, a former household refuse site which was transformed into the UK’s first ever International Garden Festival in 1984.  The festival was a concept designed to attract visitors to the city and during its five months of displaying an array of horticulture, a staggering 3.4 million people visited the site.

In recent years, a large section of the gardens was developed for residential housing, whilst the remaining gardens fell into disrepair. In 2010 work commenced to transform the gardens to a place for leisure and recreation with boardwalks and woodland trails. As you cycle through the gardens, look out for unique features including fine-looking  pagodas, a Moon Wall, ornamental lakes, waterways and waterfalls.
