Friends of Port Sunlight River Park

The Park opened in August 2014 and will be 10 years old this year. The Park provides a unique and unrivaled view of the River Mersey towards Liverpool & also up river, across the Wirral and the hills of North Wales.

The Friends group have always provided strong support for developing, maintaining and promoting the Park.

At present we are unable to send out newsletters

This is due to changes to prevent too much spam email being sent.

But it puts an impossible burden on on voluntary groups

The Friends of Port Sunlight River Park are a voluntary group whose aim is to support Port Sunlight River Park, Wirral

We fund raise funds and stage events for the benefit of the local community. We also take part in local events to highlight the River Park.

We succesfully bid for funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to create a unique resource “From Refuse to Recreation” exploring the history of the Park Site.

We also have some details on Bromborough Pool Village

If you have been to the park in the last few weeks, and ventured to the summit, you will have seen some large scale grass cutting and the start of some extra fencing. This is the start of a large project together with The Mersey Gateway Environmental Trust & Natural England. We are creating 2 extra fenced areas for ground nesting birds such as Skylarks, We are also re-establishing the grassland meadow by cutting and removing the scrub vegetation that has started to establish its self. Its important to remove the cut grass as this enriches the soil, which is no good for wild flowers. Scrapes, wide shallow gravel areas will also be created.

Work has progressed on this area, and hopefully birds will soon be nesting.

16 Tons of gravel. The gravel scrape & 2 smaller water pools. The tracks left by the digger & dumper truck create idea areas for wild flowers.

Port Sunlight River Park is located on the River Mersey in the North West of England.
