Unless I'm mistaken, the white building is the (new) cricket pavilion. Behind that, in the wooded area, there used to be a rockery & we used to play on the huge boulders.
My dad used to play for Mersey Park cricket club. Here's a pic. in front of the old pavilion. My dad is second from the left, front row.

Cheers, Chris.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Ahhh memories. I used to hang around getting drunk there too.
I remember before that big play area there was the slide and the 5 a side with brick goals.
The other side of the garden behind the pavillion was a climbing frame.
