The park features the Everton Park Nature Garden, a walled community garden with three ponds, bridges, paths, overhanging trees, a wildflower field, raised flower beds with seating, and colourful wild birds.

Prince Rupert's Tower (a Georgian village lock-up), and St George's Church are also located within Everton Park.

The former building (still standing by 1830) was built upon and converted into a militia barracks, then into a recreation ground by 1930, then was integrated with the rest of what would be called Everton Park in the early 1980s.

During the mid-20th century, the area became notorious for its cramped terraced slums, visible from the River Mersey[4] and unfit for human habitation.

Following the clearance of the slums, some of housing were replaced by high-rise flats in the 1960s, such as a group of 14-storey three tower blocks nicknamed "the Piggeries".
