A former hospital site in Liverpool is being transformed into a biodiverse public nature park, with the first tree now planted as part of the project.
The park will feature 163 new trees, native wildflower meadows, wildlife corridors, sustainable drainage and natural play areas. The green space is designed to support local wildlife while providing areas for patients, NHS staff, visitors and residents to relax.
Jenny Hannon, Group Chief Development Officer at NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group, said: “Access to high-quality green space can often be limited in city-centre environments, and this project will transform the former hospital grounds into a welcoming park for patients, visitors, staff and local communities.”
The project is also introducing biodiversity measures before construction is complete. A 33-metre vertical meadow has already been installed around the site, using native wildflowers and grasses to provide habitat and food for pollinators.
The park is expected to be completed in October 2027, creating a new green space on the former Royal Liverpool University Hospital site and demonstrating how redevelopment can incorporate nature recovery and biodiversity.
