Home

Litherland Sports Park opened its doors to the public in June 2006. Since then the Centre has become a focal point for the community. It has become home to a number of football teams, the Mercury Cycling Club, Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation NHS Service, and over 500 regular 'Active Sefton' Fitness Suite members.

LSP is one of the first and most innovative schemes in the country, to house cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation NHS services relocated from Aintree Hospital linked to a continuum of health and wellbeing via physical activity. It is also home for more than 25 sports clubs and venue for over 30 schools, and a real driver behind economic and social regeneration.
