About Everton Park
In the 18th century, the area around the park was popular with wealthy merchants due to its views and clean air. In the 19th century, population growth driven by industrial expansion and migration, transformed Everton into a densely built district with terraced housing.
After the Second World War, housing clearances and redevelopment left large areas of derelict land. Between 1984 and 1989, the land was redeveloped into Everton Park to allow the community to enjoy wildlife and recreation.
