Greenbank Park is a public park in Liverpool, England, with the middle of the park dominated by a small lake. It is situated in the suburb of Mossley Hill in the south of the city, close to Penny Lane and Sefton Park.

Historical background

From 1788 to 1940, the Rathbone family owned nearby Greenbank House. In 1897 Liverpool Corporation entered into an agreement with the Rathbone family to purchase land for £13,000 (equivalent to £Template:Error in 2023),[1] part of which became Greenbank Park. The walled garden is all that remains of the Rathbone estate on the park.[2]

Current usage

Greenbank Park has a children's playground, football, pitches, and a fishing pond, as well as mature trees and a conservation area. The pond provides the focal point within the park. Visitors are able to fish and can watch nesting waterfowl and herons. There is a bridge at the northern end of the pond. Much of the area is open parkland with trees to the perimeter.

There is a walled garden containing an artwork dedicated to Eleanor Rathbone by artist Lulu Quinn.[3]
