PostHeaderIcon What is the Croxteth Park Estate in Liverpool like?

It is not actually in Croxteth, it is in West Derby (L12) but it is called the Croxteth Park Estate because it is by Croxteth Park.
P.s The area I am talking about is right near the top of the estate, but the property has private gates and that. Will it still be bad there.

Its a large private housing estate with nice homes with some great parkland nearby.

However it has never overcome the basic flaw which it was built with, there is one road in, one road out and there are no amenities apart from some small shops and a pub (now closed).

Apart from the houses and the walks nearby, there is nothing else there.

Rhys Jones was murdered there but that was a feud brought in from outside the estate, the gangs of Croxteth and Norris Green have been watched very closely by the police and many are now in prison. Its not shangrila, but not as bad as it was.

PostHeaderIcon Was Owen a traitor to Liverpool or Liverpool betrayed him?

To those scousers who accuse him of being a traitor, lets not forget IT WAS LIVERPOOL SOLD OWEN to Real Madrid and wouldn’t buy him back when he left Madrileno dump, when he clearly wanted to come back to Anfield Dump.

At no stage while Owen’s been at Newcastle have ruthless liverpool shown any interests in him. True, Owen could have spent time between Haydock Park and treatment centres but Owen owes ruthless liverpool absolutely nothing!

i couldnt put it better myself … have a star..

PostHeaderIcon I’m confused about park names in Liverpool. Can anyone help?

Me and my boyfriend are having a little ongoing argument about park names in Liverpool.
I maintain that the park by Edge Lane that borders Botanic Road is known as Botanic Park or Edge Lane park. My boyfriand says it’s called Wavertree Park but if that’s so, then what is the big park in Wavertree with the sports centre called? I always thought that was Wavertree park.
Any help please?

I thought that one was called Botanic Park whilst the other was known as Wavertree park, however they both have similar names.

The park off Edge lane is called Wavertree Botanic gardens and used to have a massive greenhouse housing William Roscoe’s Botanic collection until they were destroyed in the 2nd world war.

The other park up in Wavertree (known as the Mystery) is called Wavertree playground, and for some reason does not appear on the councils own list of parks.

PostHeaderIcon parking in liverpool for the game tomorrow night?

i am going to the game tomorrow night where is the best place to park

From the M62, follow the signs for the ground, as you come up to the last set of lights before the ground on Utting avenue/ Priory Road, do a U turn, and 50 yards on your left is the old Anfield Comp school. Parking there should cost £8-£10, 3 minute walk back up the hill past Stanley Park to the ground.

NB Stanley Park is only for season ticket and corporate guests, do not follow the traffic into Priory Road, you need to do a U turn to get onto the other side of the carriageway to get into Anfield Comp.

There are plenty of other schools nearby which provide match day parking as well.
