Stadt Moers Park is a public park located in Whiston, Merseyside in the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley. The park covers 220 acres (0.89 km2) of land between Whiston and Huyton.[1]

## History[edit]

Before the park was established, Tushingham's Brickworks was built on the site in the 1890s. When the site became derelict in 1976, the park was used as a landfill site for domestic refuse.

In 1983, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council began cleaning up the area and turned the site into a country park known today as Stadt Moers. The name Stadt Moers comes from Knowsley's twin town of Moers in Germany.
