  • Parks and Gardens

    • Chester and its surrounding area is lucky to have some of the most beautiful parks and gardens in the north west. In fact Grosvenor Park is now regarded by many as one of the finest examples of Victorian Parks internationally.

    • Alexandra Park

      This park within the area of Hoole is a bustling part of the local community. With tennis courts, crown green bowling and putting there is always something going on.

      The park has a children's play area as well as plenty of open space to enjoy.

      Opening times: All Year 08:00hrs - Sunset

    • Grosvenor Park

      Since it's opening in 1867 many changes have been made, however, much of the original design and features by Edward Kemp remain.

      The formal avenues lined with trees, statues, large sweeping lawns surrounded with ornamental shrub beds and display bedding, for which the park has become well known is very much part of the city and is used by locals and visitors alike. The bedding displays are planted twice yearly to provide a spectacular and colourful display throughout the Spring and Summer months.

      In recent years the park has been used for many horticultural events and festivals including the Summer Music Festival, however, the main use continues to be that of people enjoying the peaceful and attractive setting.

      Opening times: All Year 08:00hrs - Sunset

    • Westminster Park

      This large park to the south of the city between Hough Green and Lache Lane has excellent sporting facilities, these include football, cricket, tennis, croquet, bowls as well as the popular 9 hole golf course.

      Opening times:All Year (except Christmas Day)
