Welcome to Ashton Park in West Kirby

See our events page to enjoy Ashton Park throughout the Summer.

The Park is a delightful Edwardian park well placed near the centre of West Kirby at the north end of the Wirral peninsula. It is conveniently located alongside the Wirral Way and is open all hours for public use.

The facilities in the Park comprise extensive gardens and shrubberies, a large lake with a variety of wildfowl, a children’s playground, bowling greens, tennis courts, a junior football pitch and a café & toilets (limited opening).

The park is owned and maintained by the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral with the strong support of the Friends of Ashton Park who administer this web site. The park was developed between 1899 and 1906 through the good will of Miss E M Ashton who loaned the land. After her death in 1935 the park passed into public ownership. During the second half of the twentieth century the park received little attention but since 1991 a strong relationship has been forged between the Friends and the Borough and many improvements have been made. This hard work resulted in the award of Green Flag status for 2004/5 from the Civic Trust and for its re-award in every year since then.
