Best Dog Parks in Liverpool

Liverpool's largest Victorian park (235 acres / 95 hectares), Grade I-listed and modelled on Birkenhead Park. Dogs are allowed off-leash on the wide open meadows around the boating lake and the Old English Garden, with leashed-only zones near the Palm House and the children's play area.

A 500-acre (200 hectares) country park around the historic Croxteth Hall, the city's largest single green space. The park combines woodland, meadow, and a working farm; dogs are allowed off-leash on most paths and meadows, with leash-only sections near the farm animals and the formal walled garden.

A 2.5-mile (4 km) waterfront promenade along the Mersey estuary linking Otterspool to the Festival Gardens, popular with local dog walkers. Dogs are allowed off-leash on the open grassland between the promenade and the riverside path, with leash zones at the children's play area and around the Britannia Inn.
