Plans for park could start to move forward

December 11, 2025

PLANS for a new Merseyside park could be moving forward as part of a £1.6bn investment into the city region while a council is in talks over a derelict former hotel.

- By EDWARD BARNES

The new park will cross an entire town centre, connecting a Merseyrail station to Birkenhead's docks.

The Dock Branch Park is a regeneration project by Wirral Council. It aims to transform a former trainline that cuts through central Birkenhead from Green Lane railway station to Wirral Waters. The new park will offer a new route for people to move through the town and offer views of Liverpool.

The scheme was originally supposed to be completed by 2024 but has faced a number of delays.

However, plans for the southern section are making progress with the local authority in the process of buying it from Network Rail.
