Taylor Park originally formed part of the Eccleston Hall Estate and was named after Samuel Taylor who donated the land to St Helens. It was opened to the public in 1893 and is the largest Victorian park in St Helens. Its facilities include a large dam, rock garden, quarry garden, children's play area, woodland walks, panoramic views across the surrounding landscape, boathouse, tearoom and a visitor centre. The park rewards visitors with attractive and varied features and the opportunity to see a wide range of waterfowl & wildlife. A £1.2 million lottery-funded restoration project was completed in 2005.
