About

St Michael's & Otterspool sits on Liverpool’s southern riverside, defined by Otterspool Park and the Otterspool Promenade along the River Mersey. The park contains open grass, stretches of woodland and a network of paths that lead down to a stony foreshore exposed at low tide, used for short walks and birdwatching. The riverside walk runs for some distance along the bank, giving a continuous vantage of passing vessels and the river horizon, and it anchors much of the area’s outdoor activity.

Behind the riverside lies the St Michael’s residential area, made up of terraced streets and some larger period houses, with local shops and community facilities close to main roads. Within the park are sports pitches, play areas and community allotments that are in regular use. Regular buses and local rail stations provide links across Liverpool. The mix of riverfront open space and inward-facing residential streets shapes everyday life here, with the promenade and foreshore acting as a constant public edge between land and river.
