Avenham Park together with its little sister Miller Park ranks amongst the finest examples of traditional Victorian parkland in the North West. Designed and created by Edward Milner during the 1860s.
Avenham Park is created from a natural amphitheatre and has a famous Japanese Rock Garden with a wide variety of unusual ornamental plants, together with beautiful water features.
Another major feature of the park is a pavilion on high ground overlooking the field, locally known as the "White House".
One of the traditional events held every year is the Easter Egg Rolling, which is enjoyed by many families.
An embankment constructed for a railway, which closed in the 1970s, separates Avenham Park with Miller Park. This park is laid out in Victorian symmetrical formal style with a water fountain and a statue of the 14th Earl of Derby, occupying pride of space. Adjacent to the fountain is the Rose Garden, which contains a Gazebo and seating to enjoy the serene quiet place.
