Botanic Park Changing Pavilion, Kensington, Liverpool

Whitfield & Brown delivered a new single storey changing pavilion at Botanic Park in Kensington, Liverpool, creating a modern community facility to support increased participation in outdoor sport and wider use of local green space. The project was delivered within the Kensington Regeneration Zone as part of a wider programme of neighbourhood investment.

The pavilion was developed in partnership with Liverpool City Council and Community 7, alongside a range of funding partners including the Football Foundation, Liverpool Neighbourhood Regeneration Programme, Active City, Kensington Regeneration and Sport England. The aim was to provide a high quality, welcoming facility that strengthens the sporting offer within Botanic Park and supports long‑term community use.

The completed building is a distinctive standalone structure that sits comfortably within the park landscape. The pavilion contains eight secure changing rooms, generous storage areas and a community meeting room with integrated kitchen facilities, allowing the building to support both sporting activity and wider community use.

The design delivers a robust, practical facility while creating a positive presence within the park environment, reinforcing the role of Botanic Park as a valued local recreational space.

The Botanic Park Changing Pavilion provides a long‑lasting community asset that supports grassroots sport, encourages physical activity and promotes wider use of open space within Kensington. By delivering modern, secure and inclusive facilities, the project plays an important role in supporting regeneration objectives and improving access to sport and recreation for local residents.

The scheme demonstrates Whitfield & Brown’s experience in delivering community‑focused projects in partnership with local authorities, social organisations and funding bodies to create facilities that deliver tangible, long‑term benefits.
