Moor Park is one of the most picturesque residential areas of Crosby in Merseyside. Initially developed in the early years of the twentieth century, it is situated on the northern side of Moor Lane, the main A565 road out of Crosby to the north.

It includes the tree-lined Poplar Avenue, Elm Avenue and Chestnut Avenue, and the Tithebarn, a masonic residential home set in its own spacious leafy grounds.

Chestnut Avenue, as its name suggests, is lined on both sides by lots of conker trees. At its northerly end is a public footpath, which will take you between agricultural fields, and around the walls of Crosby Hall to Little Crosby.

Moor Park is also home to the Northern Club, situated in Elm Avenue, who moved there in 1907 while the residential site was in its infancy. The club has continued to thrive since then, and has evolved into one of the best sporting clubs in the North West offering splendid facilities for cricket, hockey, crown green bowling and squash in beautiful surroundings.
