Birkenhead Park, UK
Just two stations away from New Brighton lies the classic English park, Birkenhead Park. Designed by Joseph Paxton and opened in April 1847, Birkenhead Park became the first publicly funded park in the world. Its opening marked a significant milestone in addressing the poor health conditions brought about by the Industrial Revolution, creating a green oasis in the urban landscape.
