New-lease of life for Liverpool Festival Gardens
BY Pete Hayman

Liverpool Festival Gardens have officially reopened, following the completion of a major multi-million pound restoration undertaken by developer Langtree.

The company has appointed the Land Trust to manage the city's newest public park, which has been revitalised over a two-year period having fallen into a state of disrepair.

Work has included the restoration of two pagodas in the oriental gardens; a restored Moon Wall; new lakes and waterways; and a pedestrian access point linking to the promenade.

The site hosted the International Garden Festival between May and October 1984, attracting 3.8 million visitors. After the event, a large part of the gardens were turned over to housing.

A variety of leisure and entertainment facilities occupied the remainder of Liverpool Festival Gardens until it was left derelict in 1987.

Langtree development director Stephen Barnes said: "It has been very exciting to see the first reactions from people when they visit the park."
