Chavasse Park, Liverpool ONE

A scenic link between the heart of the city and the waterfront.

Comprises a ‘Grand Lawn’, richly planted terraced and walled gardens, sites for beautiful pavilion buildings, sheltered seating, trees, planting and multifunctional paving areas.

As an integrated part of the wider development the park conceals four levels of car parking, two levels of retail space, service roads and technical areas whilst housing two south facing bars and restaurants.
