This park was located quite high up, it’s at the top of Liverpool ONE, a large retail and entertainment complex. You could either access it from a lift in the main shopping part of Liverpool ONE. Or if you were approaching it from the side by Strand Street, or the A5036, there was a flight of stairs or a long winding path. The path wound back and forth because of how high up the park is compared to street level and it made sure that no part of the path was too steep. It had a large green space and because I visited in the run up to Christmas there was also a Bavarian style Christmas market there and some large Christmas decorations. Once you reached the park the paths were all flat and paved well. There was a fair amount of seating available around the park, most of it was in the form of low concrete walls. Some of the things I liked most about the park was how well lit it was at night, especially the winding path, and the insect hotel.

You can access the park via lifts in the main shopping area of Liverpool ONE. Or there are stairs and sloped pathways that also provide access to the park. Because it is quite a bit above street-level the path winds back and forth a few times to make sure that it isn’t too steep. Some parts of this winding path had a grab rail on top of a wall but most of it had plants on both sides with no grab rail available. The paths leading up to the park and inside the park are all pretty smooth and easy to traverse. The paths inside the park itself are all quite wide as well. There is a large grassy area in the centre of the park which I didn’t go on in my wheelchair. The lighting after sunset was really good as it provided good lighting to be able to see the paths and be able to navigate the park easily but not so bright that it was overwhelming or ruined the vibe of the park. There was a fair amount of seating available in the park, most of it was in the form of low concrete walls. There was a small Bavarian style Christmas market there when I visited. I didn’t spend any time inside the market as all the stalls were quite high up and would have been difficult for me to see anything.

Parking & Transport
Excellent
I travelled to this place by walk or wheel
The closest car park is Q-Park Liverpool ONE which is located on The Strand and some of the lifts travel directly from the car park to Chavasse Park. According to the website, it has 1900 spaces in total, including 81 accessible parking spaces. It has a height restriction of 2.10 metres. The website says there are no EV charging bays, however when I visited there were quite a lot of charging bays that seemed to have been newly installed. It is a paid car park and there is a discount code on the Liverpool ONE website for those that pre-book a parking space here. Liverpool ONE bus station is just 260 metres away from Chavasse Park and has a large number of buses that stop here. James Street metro station is 450 metres away from the park and provides access to the Wirral line. Liverpool Lime Street railway station is one kilometre away from the park too.
Accessible facilities: Electric Vehicle Charging, Public or on street parking
Accessible Toilets
There are toilets below the park, in the Liverpool ONE complex, including a Changing Places toilet. They are behind barriers that charge 30p to enter. However, the staff there will let you use the accessible toilets for free. Just ask someone to use the accessible toilets and they will be able to let you in for free.
