It is the venue for Southport Flower Show[1] and several musical events.

[2] The show is traditionally held in August[3] each year and has attracted both national and international film and TV coverage since the 1950s [4] The park is also home to the British Musical Fireworks Championships [5] which moved to the park from its previous home on Southport's Marine Lake in 2013.

[6] The British Musical Fireworks Championship is no ordinary competition,[7] as each UK competitor who enters are required to synchronise their display to music, to win the competition.

The park is also used for the RAF Woodvale Rally, that had to move to the location after Asbestos[8] was discovered on the RAF base, just outside Formby in 2012.

It is also home to Southport & Birkdale Croquet Club.
